I just love his expression in these this one and the one below. He is such a silly, happy, little baby. He is cuddling the bear I made him in these pictures, too. Okay, I lie, the bear was just kind of there. I had a hell of a time trying to get him to hug it, but he just refused to keep his arms around the darn bear. Hahaha! I just wish I had a reflector to take away those shadows.
Practise Makes Perfect: These two (top and bottom) are my favourites from the shoot. Same picture, just one in colour and one converted to black and white. I love them both. I will definitely be printing then off and hanging them in my house! The exposure is a bit high, but I love it in this particular picture. It makes his skin look all soft and creamy and perfect. It looks like a real, professional, newborn photo. These are the kind of pictures I want to be able to take all the time.

Not quite as in focus as the others. He kept moving. Wiggly little worm. But who cares, I just can't resist that face and that crazy hair. <3
All in all, I think it was a successful shoot. The background of my couch in some of the pictures is a bit distracting and takes away from the pictures, though. I really can't wait until I can get some back drops and props. I've been scoping out some sites and already have a list of what I want. However, practical equipment comes first and that means no props until I get the important stuff, like a reflector and maybe a flash with a soft box, and definitely photoshop. I want to take my pictures as natural and unaltered as possible, but sometimes you need that little something extra that altering can give. I don't know very many photographers who don't alter in some way, even if it's just a little.
