The smallest things.
Posted on October 23, 2009
Newborns are so shiny and new. So innocent. When they sleep like a rock, these are the kinds of images I end up with. These types of images are usually only possible in the first 10 days of life, with day 6 being ideal. Why? Because babies were curled up in womb and will happily curl up in those first two weeks. They also sleep more readily and more soundly.
I do prefer newborn images in black and white for several reasons. One is because most newborns, while completely beautiful, are also usually sporting purple feet and a few other shades of color that will disappear in the first few weeks. BW images have the ability to take away our perception of color (which naturally draws in our eye) and allows us to focus on the expression, contrast, and simplicity. She’s just perfect.
