Newborns taking over St. Louis
My Crush
I recently captured this adorable newborn, John. Isn’t he yummy. It isn’t often that I catch newborns wide awake, so this was a special treat. He wasn’t as in love with me, as I him, so I worked fast, and I think the photos turned out well in the end.
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, newborns are not usually known for their clear complexion. This can become a distraction in a photo and sometimes a disappointment to the parents. For this reason, I find it’s most flattering to photography newborns in black and white.
Photographing Babies
I love to take photos of newborn babies in black and white. Most newborns arrive looking kind of “raisiny”. Black and white photography shows off the fine details of their face while camouflaging the imperfections in their complexion.
I also adore newborns in nontraditional baby colors. This baby was wearing an amazing dark brown gown from one of my favorite brands, Kicky Pants.
