A few samples of my very first attempt at a newborn shoot. She was two weeks old and just over 5lbs. If you have any to share, would love to see them. :)

Goto creativelive.com, next weekend Feb 24-26 is doing a live webnair on "Newborn & Baby Photography w/Sandy Puc" this webnair is free and you can purchase it for $99.00 as a download, I have attended many of their live webnairs. If you sign up they send a e-mail as a reminder. Did I say to watch it is FREE. The webnairs for my time zone CST starts at 11 am and go to around 6pm. In my opinon the best information on the web. Also it is FREE to watch...

There is a real science as well as an art to shooting newborns and I spent a lot of time studying it and then later I spent some serious money mentoring with a seasoned pro. I will be honest, it is great fun but it has come at a considerable time invested as well as expense to pull it off properly and professionally.

The shoot has to be done in manual for many reasons and it also is best done in all natural light with a very fast professional grade lens. To use anything less will be obvious. There are a couple lenses you could use and I typically go with L series lenses. But for newborns I found after research and practice I find that most professionals go with a 50mm f/1.4 lens which is what I used. The close up shots should be done with a macro lens

If you are ever interested in taking your photography up a level and want to do some mentoring, let me know.

Although my photography is for landscape references for my watercolor paintings, I like to look and enjoy other artists work and your photographs all look very professional and are wonderful. Thanks for sharing ladies!
