Deborah Maxwell’s Newborn Photos

This was posted on by .

I had the joy of taking Deborah’s newborn photos when she was 9 days old. We scheduled it for late afternoon, and we again used the master bedroom which we also used for Benjamin’s.

Deborah definitely gave some challenges, but with newborn photos, one learns to adapt and stretch their creativity. She didn’t sleep much, and she didn’t naturally curl into a newborn position.

We know some of you love photography, and newborn photos are a way to bless families with lasting memories. To get ideas and tips, you can Google it. You’ll find ideas from what kinds of props (you really can do with just a few items) to lighting to posing. After that, practice, practice, and practice.

I used my Nikon D800 with two lenses: Tamron  f2.8 28-75mm lens and my Nikon f1.4 50mm. I didn’t use a flash.

Love,
Sarah

To begin with, I used the little boys to see what my lighting was like and the background. I used a fleece reversible blanket–white on one side and black on the other.
Yes, Deborah was only 9 days, but she seemed so much older!

Those bright eyes!
Finally asleep.
What a happy sibling set of SIX!
She looks just like a little doll! So grateful for another opportunity to do a newborn photo session!

“That the generation to come might know them,
even the children which should be born;
who should arise and declare them to their children.”
Psalm 78:6

  17. Awwwww so cute!! Makes me want another sister. 🙂

    Btw, I’m interested in learning photography. Do you have any cameras you’d recommend for beginners?

    1. Good question. I suggest Nikon or Canon, and then whatever you can afford with one of the brands. E-mail or write me, and I’ll try to help you more. 🙂
