my first newborn shoot - baby jett

i realize i did this photo shoot (and blogged that i did it) a few months ago but i had to burn another CD for the mom which meant i dug out my external hard drive from the top shelf of the closet (out of a certain little monkeys grasp) and uploaded the rest of the images to flickr! lol.

i know a lot of the poses are duplicates. but it was my first newborn shoot. i went there not knowing a thing  how to pose newborns. i hate to admit it, but i actually had to beg the mom to let me go back to re-shoot (thank goodness she's a good friend and was more than happy to have me back lol). the first session was a bust. the mom would disagree since the images will be treasured by her no matter what, but as a photographer who had in-visioned a perfectly posed newborn with amazing depth of field, well.. i failed. the second session went much better and i did get what i was going after. i think if i could shoot 100 different newborns i could and would be good at it lol.. hahaha.   i will keep trying. if you are in the DFW area and know someone with a newborn or soon to be newborn let me know. i'm skill building in the newborn department right now and don't charge for the session. ;o). now to the images:

 meet baby jett. he's so cute. i wanted to take him home with me.
