First time doing baby photos

[Sam6644]

Did some baby photos of my girlfriend's new nephew. First time doing the baby thing, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

Simple three flashes, two umbrellas, one behind the backdrop.

I think you did pretty well overall. I would have liked to see them all without the soother, but sometimes babies just need those to keep them happy. Number 5 is a bit overexposed, but the lighting looks pretty good on the rest. I have my first newborn shoot next weekend, so we will see how that goes! haha, nice job.

Thanks!

I guess I should have said I was going for that look on number 5. Out of the full set there are more like that one... kind of pseudo-high key.

Love them! The look very cute! One thing, on the one with the Bear, baby sorta gets "lost", I think its a great shot, but baby is not what catches my eye in the pic. Also in the hand/feet one, maybe edit the background out, just have hands/feet in the pic,! LOVE #4, super cute!

Pretty decent overall, do yourself a favour and buy some white seamless paper ..the wrinkles in your fabric are distracting. Lose the diaper and the soothie next time) You will get peed or pooped on, but it is worth it, or buy a diaper cover...get mom to pull that soothie out just b4 you snap the pic...one soothie shot is cute, more than one not so much) 2 and 4 are very nice but your pp needs a bit more..baby is splotchy and red, be careful not shoot up baby's nose) Baby's heels would have been good too. Hope that helps, keep shooting!

I didn't even notice the baby until I read your post!

Forgot to add that the baby's head is slightly cut off in #2. Other than that good.
