It has been snowing, raining, cloudy, cold and overcast for what feels like an eternity! Well today the beautiful bright ball we call the sun has made a cameo...(burst into song...."at laaaasssstttt") Ok so anyway...A good friend of mine has given me the honour of photographing her precious little (what will be)14 day old baby, this coming Monday! I am soooo excited...and a little nervous. It's my first time photographing a newborn. Besides my own of coarse, but that was a year and a half ago and I just had my point and shoot Sony CyberShot. This is different. I have been practicing ...alot. I am pretty confident that I will get some beautiful images, but I am curious to see... HOW beautiful. My goal is super sharp crisp lines, pretty skin tones and sweet poses and over all great composition and the right exposure.
Well, even if they all came out horrible, I am giving it my best try and that is all I can do! I am totally prepared either way.....ok so I may walk around in a slump for a day or two if they all suck, but that's ok too. It's all about learning and improving!
I have all the necessities lined up....the space heater, the boppies, the bean bag blankets and backdrops, pretty flower headbands etc etc. I even rented a 50mm 1.4 lens! YAY! I am perusing every newborn photographers blog for info and inspiration. We will see how it goes. I have a pretty good feeling about it. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I will post the pics good, bad or ugly. This is my journey and I want to share it with you!
Now, I have to get out there enjoy this sunshine and practice using this new lens!
