I am always looking for new and different ways to photograph newborns, I think they have a wonderful quality to look like the main focus of a Dutch still life painting and I like to exploit that idea whenever I have the chance. Sometime I use items that parents bring with them to our sessions like musical instruments, special books or sports equipment, other time like this one I have a wonderful and willing model in baby L and her parents and can go a little out of the box. The amazing Susan from Added Touch Celebration helped me get the butterflies in time since we did not know when exactly to expect baby L and after the shoot we set them free here at the studio. Below is a little sample from our session and I have to say the best and most unexpected part were all the smiles as the butterflies tickled L like crazy!
