Babies are great!

I may have posted this image earlier but I think it may have been about a vase. It could look like one but it is much more than that. It was a beautiful little girl growing and not too many weeks away from being in the world.

There she is. The couple had me over to there place to get some newborn images. I have gotten away from shooting babies with flash as it often startle the little tikes. So it is just as easy for me to go to where the baby (and new mom) is most comfortable. I bring my little Westcott constant light kit (below) and use it to either exclusively or to supplement the existing light work great. 

I use an X-Rite ColorChecker on the first shot of any new lighting setup and it is literally two clicks away from setting the white balance far any number of images.

The lime green blanket that was used caused a little trouble for me in post and I will be adding a neutral blanket to my baby kit bag in the future. Here are a couple more images of this little darling.

I like the finger as the focal point that threw her slightly out of balance.
Take care all... Doug
