Angles and Props


Lately I've taken pictures of quite a few babies. It's so easy to do the same poses in each session, but I really try to mix it up and go for a different look each time. For the first picture, I placed baby J. in a deep wicker basket with a piece of white material hanging out. He looks so fragile against the heaviness of the basket. The white material breaks up the darkness and softens up the picture. In the second picture, the angle made all the difference. J's attention was on me and as I moved and spoke to him, he followed me. My aperture was on 2.8, so as I focused on his sweet face, his belly was blurred out.
