Sweet baby skin.

A lot of our workshop attendees are surprised at how little we soften our baby’s skin in post processing. I always want to preserve the natural beauty of newborn skin as best I can. It’s important to me to achieve sharpness and clarity in camera to naturally enhance  the glow of brand new skin. I want the viewer of my pictures to feel as if they can reach into my photographs and feel the soft fuzzy head or the sweet little cheeks. This little guy had the sweetest newborn skin and it’s my hope that these images show that off. Meet Bryant, a very happy little guy I photographed right before heading out to Hawaii.

    I absolutley LOVE your work! Are you using a REALLY shallow depth of field or doing some post processing to get such a blurry for- and background??
