We recently traveled out of state to adopt our son. We were stuck out of town in a vacation condo for 2 weeks waiting to come home when I realized any chance for newborn shots lay with me. I just had my camera and flash to work with. And he was getting too old for the traditional naked laying on his stomach shot. So I had to get a little creative for poses.
This one is my husband's favorite. I couldn't get him to hold his hand the way I wanted with only 1 finger down. He was holding the baby and posing at the same time so it was a bit awkward.
I did get a foot shot, although it's a little non traditional. Hubs likes this one but I wish the back foot was also in focus.
This is my favorite. Although I think it would have been better on the white background.
I think newborn photography is not going to be in my wheelhouse - but these aren't horrible. Thoughts, critiques? I need to take 1 month pics soon, so tips on adjusting the lighting or composition etc are helpful.
