Default WARNING...More Babies - Max...Shoot#2...

As some of you may remember a couple of months ago I got to do my first newborn shoot and it was adorable baby Max. Well, today I got to go back and play with Max some more. Today I got some really great shots of Max and some of him and his big brother Nels. I hope you like them. As a result of my photo shoots with Max I had my first phone call today for my first paid shoot. I am so nervous and afraid of screwing up a paid shoot of a
4 1/2 month old baby girl this time. The plan is to get together and do it next week. Cross my fingers. Wish my luck!

There are a few more on my Flickr if you should want to continue looking.

Thank you Patrick! You can bet I will be sure to share a few here. I have been very lucky so far, Max has been a perfect happy content model. I am sure they are not all going to be this easy.

These are so good Michelle. I am very pleased that you are going to be paid for doing a shoot. I don't think I would be ready for that just yet. Looking at these wonderful captures, it shows that you are clearly ready. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the shoot. Congratulations I hope that you do a great job and I am sure that you will and I don't think luck will come into it. If possible, maybe you can show a couple from the shoot. Well done Michelle. I am proud of you.

Jake.

Michelle, I remember Max. Look how he has grown! And look how good your photography instincts are! Big brother kissing baby Max is priceless. It is no wonder you are being sought out for a paid shoot. And I get that you are, naturally, feeling nervous and wanting crossed finger, knocks on wood and other magical assists . Honestly, all that you need, you already have.

Michelle, congrats on your paid shoot. I've seen enough of your posts to know that you will do quite well. This series is further proof that you have the necessary skills.
