#1 is precious, wish you could have gotten rid of the binki/pasi

#2 very cute, great catch lights

#3 is underexposed and "muddy" I also don't like the fingertips under the head ... where's the rest of the hand, or just get rid of the fingertips.

#4 is cute; but I would have ditched the tu-tu and tried to get closer,

#5 is very nice

#6 a well timed gas bubble got you a great "smile" (God I hate that tu-tu and head band ... I know it's not your choice)

#7 is also a little flat/muddy (and I have always disliked full-length bebies on a black drop ... gives them that "babiiiiiiiiies in SPAAAAAAAAACE" look ... but that's a personal thing, and not a knock on you)

I truly like the #6... a classic new born shot a la Ann Geddy's like... Her smile is priceless in that shot.

#1 is ok as well.

#5 and #6 are my favorites!

Something about the baby basket shots, the baby kinda sags a little too much into the basket in the middle in #5....the picture would of a perfect 10 if the babies body was raised slightly higher, or maybe a higher perspective on the shot.

I don't know how I missed coming back in to respond to this thread, but I did! Anyway, thanks everyone for the critiques and comments! #6 is also my favorite. I'm going to have a handful of baby shoots coming up in about a month (mini-studio move-in coming on 4/1), so I'm going to try to put your suggestions to work next time around.

just a generic comment as i dont really get into baby photos...

speaking for #1 and #2 mostly: i very much appreciate, and totally love, the fact that these arent the generic over saturated washed out color and blown highlight photos i see so much of. very refreshing to actually see clarity and *color*.

thank you.
