I love this photograph. The way Jack just gave me that look was awesome! It almost seems if he is just trying to give me that smile.
I really love the way the above photos turned out. I, however, cannot take all the credit. I had some help from Lauren.. She had her own ideas and props. I think the basin and the blanket were great additions to the shoot. I had brought my own props too, but I felt it was more personal to Lauren and Ryan to use the items she bought. Not only were they great items but they are also a keepsake for them to cherish. I know a lot of photographers that don't like when their clients have ideas, they mostly like to use their style. I, however, love to work with my clients to give them the photographs they would like, especially something like the first photo shoot of their child.
When I edit my clients work I like to use a variety of different filters. I really feel that certain shades work better with different photos. All the photos of the hands and feet have a totally different feel to them thru Black and White. In the photos below i used a combination of soft light and various techniques to capture Jack's awesome personality - he is such a cool little guy.
Thank you again, Jack, for the beautiful pictures! I look forward to our next session. :)
