Sweet baby Maggie!

Here are a few pictures from Maggie's photo session today! What a sweet baby. You'd never know she was so tiny! Her little features are perfect and she's just a doll. Also, thank you to my lovely assistant Melanie! You're work inspires me and your help is always appreciated!

The low down...

Here's what I did (remember, I had the assistance of a professional). First, I/We selected a position in the room with the most natural light. Turning off lamps (warm light) nearby. I used my 35mm fixed lens with my camera set on "A" mode (aperture priority). The ISO was set on 1600 (now thinking back it could have been on 800). So when I took my pictures the info on the inside (shooting view) was between 100 and 150. (When I find out what that number means I will let you know!) I played around with what I focused on, her feet, her hands, mostly her eyes, even though they were closed.

First things, first...

I am, by no means, even close to a professional! I am a mom who just wants to take a good picture of my child. I have to give credit where it's due! Thanks to my wonderful friends, Melanie and Dan (one of which is a professional photographer) for giving me tips, pointers and hints! I take what I have learned from them, as well as from reading other blogs and published books to learn how to get the most out of the equipment I have. So, I'll be posting hints from time to time about things I've learned so that, hopefully, I can pass on some helpful hints to other moms, and dad's too, who can take fabulous photographs of their little angels!
