There is a picture of a newborn on your gallery site... its wrapped in a white sheet and hanging from a branch... is this a composite picture or is that a special prop that you purchased? I guess, in other words, how did you get that shot? I've seen those "stork delivery" setups in newborn portraits before but wasn't sure if it was composite or if you actually hang the baby in it?
Hey Jackie- I think I have a pullback of this one as well. =) It's a real branch that I found along a local hiking trail. My husband made a stand to hold it up on either end so that it would be secure and would not only support the weight of the baby, but also so it wouldn't tip over. It sits about 4 feet off the ground and I have a big beanbag just underneath in case the baby wriggles out and I had 2 spotters, whose hands are within inches. It's a tricky shot that I don't recommend doing alone or without the proper safety precautions.
