Tonight I had the joy to photograph a little 6 day old newborn! I always love photographing newborns. You never really know how the session is going to go. You can have a plan laid out, but they can derail it quick! that is why I always allow extra time for newborns. This adorable little girl did not want to go to sleep for us at first. We were finally able to get her calmed down enough at least to get the images I wanted and then she could be awake if she wanted to. This image is one of my favorites, because it is a setup I never tried before, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Today we have Kayden! He is who I was practicing for yesterday. The shot turned out pretty similar to the practice shot yesterday with the cabbage patch kid. He was pretty stubborn about going to sleep, but I think we got some cute shots anyway. The shot was lit with two Alien Bees 800 with large softboxes at 45 degrees on camera right and left, with the right one turned down just a bit compared to the left.
Today I read page 74 in the 5D Mark II manual, File Numbering Methods.
