These are two of my favorites from collection of portraits taken this past weekend.
This photography session was great fun, but I have to admit, this has to be the hardest of all photography jobs. I am often timid about taking over and moving those teeny little body parts where I need to move them to compose a great photo. Luckily, for this shoot, mom and dad were great direction followers and completed the positioning with precision.
The best time to take newborn portraits is within the first week the baby is born. That guarantees that he or she will be sleeping soundly and won't pay any attention to how they are being fussed over. Our little subject was about three weeks old and at times was not at all happy to have us messing with him, so he expressed his discontent by "shooting" a few unexpected surprises our way!
Note to self: "Bring a large drop cloth next time!" HA!
Even though this is a true challenge for me, I am eager to do more sessions like this. It is so rewarding to have captured a moment in time that documents the bond between a parent and child. Children grow into adults so quickly. Freezing those special moments of their life is so important.
