pppppphhhhhhtttttt!

Every session it seems that I have a handful of outtakes that for one reason or another, I love. But because they don’t fit the traditional idea of what a professional portrait should look like, they languish inside my computer and never see the light of day. Today I’m rebelling. I love outtakes. And I think you might too. So here are a couple of outtakes from my newborn session with little miss Sibel.

Mom’s hand was both soothing the baby and holding her head in the position we wanted. Typically I wouldn’t even have snapped it, but I loved the look of contentment that came over her face when she felt mom’s magic touch.

Ha ha, not nearly as peaceful, but very, very real as any one who’s ever had a newborn can testify. I love crying shots. Maybe I’m just mean, but the big drama that little babies can create both amazes and amuses me.
