Here are a couple from the little guy’s second newborn session. We had a 75 degree day just out of the blue last week so I took him out to get some more pictures. It was so gorgeous and beautiful outside, the perfect weather for pictures. I wish I had taken a picture of my setup for the black backdrop for you. I had the black background over an ironing board in the shade. It was quite simple but worked wonderfully for what I needed. These were taken when Carter was 18 days old. We allow newborn pictures until babies are 14 days old as they sleep so much during that time. This is the best time to get them peaceful and sleeping. I knew my guy slept so much and he didn’t let me down. Special thanks to my assistant husband.
Photography Tip: Make use of what you have in your backyard for a backdrop. Look for well lit shade, not direct sunlight for the best images. Don’t forget to turn off that terrible camera flash, or better yet, shoot in manual mode. If you don’t have an appealing backdrop you can shoot in portrait mode (for beginners) or with a larger aperture (smaller number remember-for those wanting to shoot manual) to make the background blurry (bokeh).
More from our second session tomorrow.
