Five on Friday : Newborns.

by admin ~ March 5th, 2010. Filed under: Newborn.

This weeks Five on Friday has to do with Newborns. I think there is nothing more beautiful or simple then the love you see between a newborn baby and their parents.  Who would not want to photograph all that sweetness (and get a baby fix at the same time).

10x20Im Five on Friday : Newborns.

1. Please,Please check out this post by fellow photographer Lisa Russo. She has said something I have felt for a while and said it well.  I think that as the popularity of some newborn poses continues to grow, we all need to be aware that many of those amazing images shown in media outlets are composites or done with photographers working as a TEAM .

2. I found this link for Ruffle Butts on photographer Yvonne Nieman of St. Louis’s blog the other day.  These are amazing!  They will make for fun shots as your little one grows and starts to crawl away or run as they get bigger.

3. Has anyone found a Tonka Truck lately? I love these classic toys but have not seen any at Target, recently.  They make for a fun ’size’ comparison as a baby boy grows and I wanted to add to John’s outdoor collection for the summer.

4. Don’t forget to take images during that first year. I recommend you focus less on the ‘age’ and more on the milestones and love to see my newborns come back when they can sit (at about 6-8 months) and again at a year when they can walk!

5. I am booking up for the spring so if you are interested in a newborn session, please call as soon as you can to secure a spot on my list.

    What lovely images! I think I have a tonka truck somewhere. It is very, very large. Big enough for a baby. I’ll have to go find it. :)
