Silas Sleepy Newborn Attempt #1

This first one Silas's mother took!





As many of you know, I am asking for newborns to do free sessions for! This is because I am expanding my portfolio into "sleepy newborn" portraits. I really thought I could handle this and pull it off immediately!

Well--this portraits are beautiful and Silas was a perfect baby to photograph but I didn't achieve what I set after sooooo we'll keep trying and practicing! These poses where the babies are all propped up on their hands and sound asleep are NOT as easy to pull off as they look and I'm hoping I figure out the trick SOON because they are such precious portraits.

Silas's Mom, Heather, also does photography and has taken a few classes at Washtenaw so I let her take over at the end and she took a few shots of her beautiful baby boy herself! Thank you Heather for allowing me to practice on the wonderful addition to your family! I hope to meet the rest of your brood soon and Congratulations!

In the meantime......keep watch--I will perfect this eventually! (Send your family and friends that have newborns my way...before they are 10 days old is best.)
