Nice set JudithAnn, I love baby's expression in number 5
The only ones that don't quite work for me are number 4 and 7. In 4 the baby's skin is too similar to Dad's skin which looks a bit weird. The BW conversion in that one isn't quite right either it just somehow looks too grey. In 7 I find it hard to see what's going on, and I don't like the white vignette (although that is just personal preference).
The rest are pretty damn good though! Oh some could probably do with a little brightening, but on the whole I like 'em!

Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. In this shoot, the parents....especially the Mom, had lots of fun ideas. As for me, I was willing to try different poses, and ideas too. It all gives itself to a great learning experience.
After I was done the whole photo shoot, I made them a music slide show. I must say that poses like the one of the father holding the baby over his head, had a fantastic emotional effect when put to music. Poses like that on its own do seem unsettled.....what is the message or story of the photo?
I did have a favorite when I was done. This one picture, has become part of my portfolio, for whatever reason, whenever I see it.... I chuckle!
Regards, Judithann

This last one - the baby with his tasseled cap - there is something really comical about it It's almost ridiculous - the cap is longer than he is .
I love it
I love it

Fantastic set, Judith. I particularly like the first one. It's so special and captures a transitory moment in his life.
Best wishes,
Andrew
