Dublin - 6 days old

My first newborn photo session with 6 day old Dublin was so enjoyable, he made it effortless, the perfect model.  Dublin spoilt me, he was so happy, sleepy and relaxed,  such a pleasure to photograph. I am addicted now!

Leading up to this I had read many, many tutorials from new born photographers, watched youtube videos and viewed loads of photos... I was ready for anything lol. The room was as hot as the desert, sound, lighting, props, yep all ready....

I must admit I was expecting the worst,  a baby who wouldn't sleep, and I couldn't put into the positions I imagined... but little Dublin just went where he was put, woke a little and then dropped off again. He was an angel. Mum fed him half way through and he just went back to sleep. I felt a bit mean moving him around so only did a few positions and will get together with him again soon to do a few others.

Editing the photos was a great learning experience, I really enjoy this part, taking away those little baby blemishes, red skin tones, flaky skin and giving baby the soft delicate look that a newborn  photo needs, each photo has to be individually done but well worth it in the end as you can see by the photos of Dublin.

But what's most important is giving the parent something to treasure forever.
