Today's Joy of Love prompt is What They Say. This little sweetie is far to itty bitty to have anything to say, but her body language speaks for itself.
{Pure Sweetness.}
Side note: This is my second newborn, {my first being over a year ago} I have had the opportunity to photograph. It was a spur of the moment request from my brother while we were down for baptism today. Of course, I said yes!!! There are a few things I learned: I need to sssloooowww down! Pay attention to the space all around the focus. And that I need even more practice editing skin on babies!! I feel I did a pretty good job on trying to get things right in camera so I wouldn't have to spend a lot of time on the skin. However, I am feeling very intimidated right now to tackle the rest of the photos! I attached a color photo and would LOVE your input!

I am super tired from a fun day of traveling and spending time with family for my nieces special day! I'm going to relax, turn my computer off and spend some time with my honey! I promise to visit your blog tomorrow and give you some of that blog love right back! :)

I think you got the skin color perfect. They are both gorgeous. But.... I like the color. what a darling baby. I like the composition and the DOF
ReplyDeleteHow darling! I hope I get to do one, one day :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The skin looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteShe is precious and I love your shot. Did you see the recent article by Michelle Kane about skin tones?

I'm not good at them and haven't read the article, but thought I'd pass it along in case in might help you. I'm looking forward to reading it when I can try to absorb all she has to say.
I think you got the color just right...so soft!
ReplyDeleteyou look like a pro! love this.
ReplyDeleteI am not great at photographing babies at all but I have a great friend who is. Here is a link to her site if you want to check it out. She is awesome about answering questions too. http://blog.bitsybaby.com/
ReplyDeleteI think these are both fantastic. Seems like the perfect little baby coloring to me, at least on my computer!! I love your DOF and angle, just superb shots!! I'm sure the parents are proud!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!! Oh my gosh, I'm in awe of this photo. Her skin looks beautiful, I'm by no means and expert but it's very creamy and just lovely. Great job. You're really going to far in this photography bus. :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful--so lovely! BTW, I answered your question on my PP of the barn structure! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLet's try this again!
ReplyDeleteLove the baby shots. The comp is perfect :)
To answer your question, your blog looks fine on my end. I think mine looked fine to everyone but me. I browse in Firefox and I went under View and then reset the zoom. That fixed it...so wierd bc everyone else's blogs looked fine to me, so I thought....
These are perfect! I'm photographing my first very soon, and I'm so nervous!!
ReplyDeleteMy input is: These are FANTASTIC! I love it in both color and b/w. Sooo sweet!
