Say Hello to Sabrine...She's New

[NJMAN]

I had the distinct pleasure of photographing a lovely young lady today. She is new on the block, but very sweet and quiet. These were taken when she was only 9 hours old. C&C always welcome. Thanks for looking!

1.

2. Her wee little scaley toes.

3.

4. "Excuse me while I have my first yawn."

5. I wish she would have opened her hand a bit. Some babies sure have a tight fist for being so young.

Thanks for looking!

I am enchanted with the feet shot. The rest are precious too. How adorable. The shallow depth of field in 3 and 4, are those because of the lens that you used or post processing. I think it's very effective in making us focus on her cute little face!

Wow. I am in love with these shots. Great great great great great!!! The feet one. It's so adorable!

You did a really nice job with these. I like them a lot. Have you tried a b/w version of any? Quite a little doll baby though.

Nice use of the light and DOF. Good job on the softening as well.
Great work NJ.

I love the gorgeous, soft light on these. It's perfect for a brand new baby. I really like #1, but I wish she wasn't chopped off at the neck.

What a wonderful series. I love the color in these, she has such beautiful skin and you captured her newness so well! I almost always shoot newborns in b/w because their skin is often blotchy but this little one appears to not have that issue

Thank you everyone for the very nice replies!!

Thanks zaramuni, holly marie, jemmy, Johnboy, Leo, heip, wildmaven, JenR, chrisb, acaldwell, and alison!

zaramuni: The shallow depth of field was from the 50mm lens, set all the way to f/1.8. No processing to enhance it. Thanks for commenting.

Johnboy: Yes, I tried a few of them in B&W, and I liked the effect! Thanks for the nice reply.

wildmaven: you are too funny. LOL. Your uterus, huh? too much information maybe. Thanks for the kind words! ;-)

Alison: Yes, she had very nice skin for only being 9 hours old! Thanks.
