re: Official Photography Thread. ♥

Quoting kuhlaneuh:" those who do newborns, Do you prefer your poser to be really stiff? or a little loose? (more beans/less ... [snip!] ... one I made at the beginning of the year, and I have since taken some beans out, I can't decide if I like more or less.   "

Hmm I don't like it super stiff but not too squishy. Helpful.. right?  

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" The mother failed to tell me the "newb" was a month old. He stayed awake all but like ten minutes...and obviously wouldn't get into the normal newborn poses. But he was cute as could be "

Well, a lot of people think of a month old baby as a newborn still. They don't understand to get the newborn style stuff they need to be SUPER NEW lol.

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" Are they wrapped in cellophane? "

Yeah, I haven't taken the plastic off.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" For what.. a session and a disk of images?"

I believe just a session and a few edited images. Additional images a la carte.

Yeahhhh. I was like DAMNIT.  

One of two poses I got of him asleep.

Aww, he is really cute.. is that a new blanket? His skin looks good.. let me know if you want any thoughts

It was hers actually. haha. And yes! Please! haha

Oh okay, I like it.. Well I think it looks great .. the only thing that bugs me is the heavy vignette lol. I see that on a lot of your images and I'm not sure if that's an action or what it is but it feels very heavy to me.

Is this one better or still too heavy? The two actions I used on it tend to add a heavy vignette.

I think it looks a little better but it still feels very vignette-y to me. It's hard when it's all a solid color.. it makes it very obvious.

  I re-did again. Used a soft opacity brush because it wouldn't let me go back that far.
And I warmed it up a bit.

so cute!!

i would clone the blanket to the sides, so it doesn't look so draped over something, kwim? what do you think Brandi?


ETA: that might be kind of hard tho with this shot.

I thought that too... almost looks like a fish eye if I'm saying that right. I always clip the blanket to a couple of chairs so it "squares off". But what a cute shot, Becca!!!

I did clip it.   He's just so big he took up the entire bag and I had to shoot from far back...even with my 35.
