Newborn Portraits

Blogon November 30th, 2009Comments

Last week I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit my cousin (in the hospital and at home) right after she had her first child. I must admit I have little experience with newborns and even less in photographing newborns.

I though it would be a good experience to build my portrait portfolio. I first visited my cousin at the hospital 12 hours after her daughter Lillyana Rose was born. I tried to get some photos just of her and innocence of just coming into this world. Then some other photos of her bonding and being taken care of by her father.

The second photo shoot I was able to have was at their home, once they were settled in. By suggestion of my cousin, we set up a small scene in their living room with some foliage and flowers surrounding Lillyana.

Newborns are a bit tiring to work with when they are awake and grumpy, but I think there are some usable images for their birth announcement. I hope to have more opportunities to refine my photography with newborns in the future, but this was already a great learning experience.
