Newborns

In an ideal world, 90%...okay...maybe 80%...of my clients would be newborns.  Don't get me wrong, I love children and families and couples and, well, pretty much everyone, but there's something about a wrinkly little newborn that melts my heart.

I attempting to take pictures of my daughter when she was a newborn.  They were...um...interesting.  Lets just say my talent was not quite where it is now.  Here - I'll show you an example:

You may not be able to see it when it's this small, but let me tell you - it's GRAINY.  And that blanket did not work well for that shoot.

Anyways.

Now that I have a newborn shoot coming up (actually, several), and I have all sorts of "fancy" props and equipment, I thought I'd get it out and practice.  Since there are no newborns at my house, Bitty Baby volunteered.  She wasn't very cooperative.
