sometimes young babies make annoyingly strange faces when you’re trying to take a picture to prove to the world how cute they really are.
In the first couple months, I found that Julian was actually a very good model while he slept. He didn’t cry or cross his eyes or make a rooting face. He was serene and pleasant and I’m delighted I captured it on film. I ended up using a sleeping photo for our holiday card.
How to do it:
Locate a well lit corner of your house
Place un-swaddled baby on solid colored piece of fabric, such as sheet, blanket or pillow case
Stand above baby looking down to shoot picture
For best results, do not use zoom or flash– move camera or light source instead
