Newborn Photos






Today's photos are just a few of my favorites from my latest photoshoot of Jaidyn.  Jaidyn was probably the best model I've shot so far, other than her bathroom accident on a blanket she was a trooper to work with.


I was excited to try out my new Canon 580EX II speedlight.  For my setup I used a Canon 430EX speedlight with a shoot through umbrella set to slave and a 580EX II on camera set to master with a ratio of 1:4.  I wanted to utilize E-TTL so I could focus on the baby and and not worry about the lighting, in this type of environment it worked flawlessly.  I used a mix of bounced light and the shoot through umbrella for this session.

I think this is the cutest baby I have ever seen (and Trisha says smelled). Thanks for the photos. You are amazing.

[...] Jaidyn is becoming a regular here on my blog.  This is the second time I’ve photographed her and I’ve photographed her mother before Jaidyn was born.  [...]
