When you find the light

When you find the light--you go with it. The light in this room was ridiculous. And then add the neutral grays, and striped wall and forget about it. I had to do little processing. In fact I would tweak some of them, and then go back to original--because it just looked so right. This is my husband's cousin and his wife. Gorgeous people with handsome sons is like magic. Truth be told--I am not a huge fan of shooting newborns, because I assume I should be putting them in a basket with some sort of blanket or something--and it has never worked for me. But I do LOVE shooting newborn interaction shots. Just parents making those expressions that any other parent would recognize. I love how these turned out.

This first one was shot through the crib slats--and i love the effect.

And there is something about this shot that I kept coming back to. I think it's the way the big brother is touching his hand--there's just something in that moment.

And the way the mom is sitting with her baby--I used to do this--and talk to my babies like she is here

And this one just about makes me want to cry

And the rest . . .

These pictures are so sweet! I get freaked out when newborns are laying in buckets or when they're surrounded by random props. It's much cuter to see them with their family in a simple setting.
