My new daughter

Hi All,

Got some good pics of my daughter, Freya. She was only 4 days old when these were taken (but then she was 16 days late!). Canon 300D, EF-S 17-85IS, f4.5 & Iso 200 (I think), window light on a sunny day. Last one was converted using channel mixer in PS.

Hi Colintinto, congratulations to having such a beautiful new daughter!
These are some lovely, very endearing photos of her using the natural light.
I like the second one best of the series. I like her expression in that one so!
She is surprisingly alert in all of these for having been only four days old when these were taken!!!

she's beautiful congratulations

being 16 days late how much did she weigh?

colintinto · Aug 9, 2005

Thanks for all the comments guys. She was 9lbs 1oz when she was born, 4.2kg I think, and 52cm long. She just didn't want to come out, even after various attempts at induction, so it was a C-Section in the end. No harm done though, mother and baby are fine.

Did you hear me loose my breath when I started to scroll down? What an angel!

Is she your first?

Congrats!

Yes, first baby. Expect lots more pictures on here... Although to be honest when they're so small, after a while all the pictures start to look the same.

I'm thinking about trying to convince my wife to pose with her, on a rocking chair in the nursery. Possibly nude, but cleverly positioning the baby and other body parts to hide her embarrasment, if you know what I mean.

Any suggestions?

Colin
