Newborn session C&C

[SabrinaO]

Yes.. there are a lot of files:greenpbl: Please pick and choose which ones need work? I want to specialize in newborn photography so if anyone has any tips on posing, lighting etc I'd appreciate it!

I had a light (clamshelled* w/silverlined umbrella and white shoot thru) camera right and a reflector to the left. I did some PP... added curves and adjusted exposure, WB... the normal stuff. Please let me know what you think?

*I need to thank whoever suggested this! I think the lighting is beautiful... anyone else think so?

Looking at them now... #1 looks a little cool and a little green. It was a little underexposed SOOC. I cant get the tones right...

Any feedback?

Hi Sabrina!

I'm also trying to specialize in newborn photography and I know how hard it is!

I think they are all great, and someone else might not be able to value how good they really are if they've never shot a newborn, that includes the parents, but in the weeks to come when they try to take their baby pictures with their iphones and such they will come to value your photos!

I have nothing to add about cc because I think they are good, nothing is wow! but they are all good and you should be proud of these images!

Hey Sabrina! One thing I've noticed throughout this set is the baby's skin--it definitely needs smoothing. People like to vision their newborns as soft and smooth and the pictures should definitely reflect this. Just make sure not to go overboard on the post processing, nobody likes a plastic baby I'm not really a fan of #7, because I find the pacifier off-putting, sorry. I really do love the colors in #8, but seems a little blown out. (It could be my monitor?) Anyways, this is a great set. Keep up the good work!

Any feedback?

Most people in the US are asleep during the wee mornig hours, and most of TPF's members are in the US.

oh i love it! beautiful colors, adorable baby. my favorite is number six, and seven although the binki is a little distracting. I would have loved to see her sweet face! well done!

I also agree with the smoothing of the baby. The pictures are really nice but I think they look a little tooo crisp. Having sharp pictures is good, but I feel for newborns that they are supposed to look like little angels and be almost flawless. Other than that though that is an easy fix, I really like the pictures! Especially #6!

Decent set!

4 is the best to me, alot of these poses i have already seen but you executed the exposures well, for the most part

you blew out #8 a little bit, but its still decent
