Spring baby - newborn shoot

Newborns - so special little ones! I usually arrive to a newborn shoot with nothing else than myself and the camera. I do have my flash but I only take it out if it really is too dark. I don't carry around lots of props for the little ones - I think that I will get to know them when I arrive and will use the special items that parents have already prepared for them.

On this day I had no hurry anywhere so lots of time to chat with mum and dad and settle the baby to sleep. A bright day so all done with natural light with my 50mm f1.4 and (my new favourite with newborns) 100mm f2.8 macro.

Gorgeous baby girl. My love to her and her beautiful parents :).
