Lightbulb Newborn with a Macro Lens

My daughter is 5 days old today.





A perfect example of why a macro lens makes such a good portrait lens -- these were both shot with my 105mm f/2.8 VR Macro.

Thanks! I think so too, but I may be a little biased . . .

The red hair and the green grass make this photo very special. She is a real doll! Congrats.

I agree with you!!! I love my Sigma 105mm F/2.8 Macro lens for a variety of shots including Portraits. I love the creamy bokeh that you have achieved in the 1st one.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Congratulations and what beautiful photos. She looks so much older than five days and I love the red hair. Hope to be seeing lots, lots more of your beautiful daughter growing up.
