Today I did my first newborn photo shoot. I had all kinds of images in my head that I wanted to capture. I did a lot of reading of discussion threads on newborn flickr groups. Last night, I did a set up run through. All set.
I'm going to say this is probably the best photo of the bunch. And, I absolutely must say this is WAY harder than it looks.
The mom, my friend, was fantastic and willing to try whatever I wanted to do. The little guy pictured here was so sweet and cooperative. I do believe I got a handful of good shots, but not as many as I was hoping for.
Today, I'm thankful, first and foremost, for my friend's willingness to be my guinea pig. Well, for her little guy to be the guinea pig.
And, I'm thankful for the ability to remember that I am still in the learning process and don't have to get everything perfect right from the get go. It's easy to forget that part.
And, I'm thankful for the other photographers on flickr for sharing their ideas, experience and guidance which becomes a part of my inspiration.
