I had the chance recently to photograph my daughter at 2 weeks, and it was a great learning experience and I had a lot of help from my sister in law, who came prepared.

one thing that was also important remember to make sure the temperature is just right, if baby is going to be do a nude session, we want baby warm and comfortable.

http://dsdphotography.co.za/kia-home/ – here are some of the photos I decided were worthy of display, although there are a ton to go through still, and I have terribly critical of my own work, especially when the photos are so special.

Thank you so much for the tips…I just recently done a photo session of an 8 day old baby & about everything that you described I came across. You really do have to be patient with the baby & allow him/her to feed & be diapered & of course consoled by mommy! [img]http://www.facebook.com

New photography student here. Bought my first DSLR last January when my first-born was 6 months old. Just want to share that I learned a majority of photography techniques with my baby as the subject. For all expecting to have babies, I can say that they are the best subject possible!

A few months ago, i noticed that my baby was very used to having his photo taken that whenever i bring out my camera, we will automatically pose and smile at me. Likewise, whenever he sees anything bright (like a reading lamp), he thinks that someone is taking a photo of him! It just makes my week worthwhile.

The best thing however is the fact that you can record practically the growing period of your child. From having no hair to having long locks!

Good luck to everyone!

It’s actually hard to capture a moment with newborns. You really have to be very patient and alert. I’d like to share a few tips I’ve learned when my son was still a baby:
- Get a nice compact digital camera that you can bring with you at all times. You’ll never know if it’s the right moment, so it’s good to have it within arms-reach.
- Use the multi-shot settings. It’s nice to capture every movement of you baby especially if that trick is his first. (A good snapshot stops a moment from running away. ~Eudora Welty)
- Download all files from your memory card at the end of the day so you’ll have enough space every time.
- And lastly, have fun!!! =)
