She was smiling and cooing while I was changing her last night. It was warm outside and the light was gentle. I wasn’t feeling like I needed to take more pictures of my dear little one, but why not? I put on her best outfit (seen here) and went out to the back yard. She is laying on a changing pad covered with black velvet for two of the photos and with a wooly mattress pad for the other. I love pictures of her in her environment with family and friends holding her. I also like pictures like these that take away other distractions and focus on her.
The middle photo is so precious! She looks like such a wise little being.
Wonderful work. My wife and I are expecting another little one ourselves, and would love to capture some photos in this style. How do you get the black SO black? There is no sheen anywhere. . . . Do you need a certain kind of velvet? Thanks.
