My First Attempt at Newborn Photography

Well there they are, the results of my first attempt at being a Photographer. I will say it was fun and very Quick! Little babies have such a small attention span.

Things that I will do again:

• The background, I like how the white fuzzy fabric looks in the photo but will try other backgrounds in the future
• Work with a baby that has a full tummy and a good demeanor

Things I will do different:

• Make sure the room is very warm before you start
• Use more natural lighting
• Utilize some sort of wedge under the blanket as to not have the baby lay so flat and straight
• Edit my photo so that it looks better in a thumbnail image (ie. ETSY)

Newborn Baby Photos

(My inspiration, a beautiful photo by http://heatherculleyphotodesign.com)

This weekend I am going to step out of my comfort zone and will take some newborn photos of my new Granddaughter. I have been added several new Solid Color Bloomers with matching Fabric Flower Headbands on my website and really need some good modeled photos of them. I have been searching online for instructions, suggestions and inspiration and now think I am ready to give it a go!

I am already planning on stopping of at the fabric store on my way home to purchase some soft furry fabric for the backdrop. Keep your fingers crossed for me that baby Avery will be sleepy and cooperative!!!
