I had the opportunity to shoot the gorgeous 19 day old Baby Ollie at home last week. It was my first shoot with my new Nikon D700 and I was a little apprehensive about being in control of the full frame beast initially, but the D700 is a joy to use and I was into the swing of things pretty quickly, capturing images of Ollie in natural light.
Ollie seemed fairly content during the session, but he needed lots of breaks for feeding, which gave me the opportunity to try different shots out, with both his mum and dad and on his own.
Photographing newborns is always a challenge. Often they don't smile for long, move about when you're about to press the shutter, and turn very red when they cry.... but capturing the moments when they are serene and content certainly pays off with images that the parents will treasure for ever.
The following are some of my favourite photos of the day. I hope you like them and look forward to your comments as usual.
Many thanks to Keiley and Jamie for allowing me to share these photos with you.
In the meanwhile I look forward to the opportunity to photograph Ollie with his parents again when he is a bit older.
