So last week, I posted saying that Sharmila and I photographed 12 day old Deven, our friend Samir’s newborn. I love photographing newborns because they are amazing at that age – just so tiny and fragile and wrinkly and cute! 
The day before, Sharmila and I planned out the props and we went and bought quite a few things. Deven was a trooper – we put him through a LOT in terms of props and plopping him on mats and chairs and even a weighing scale, but it was all in the name of getting some really cute pictures, so hopefully Deven won’t hold a grudge
Here are some of the pictures that we took – how cute is this little guy?!
My favorite shot of the day – I would enlarge this one for sure.
The little guy was in a deep sleep in the early part of the shoot.
Love his tiny little wrinkly hands!
Love this shot – he woke up for a few seconds as Sharmila was tying the bow on him:
Samir and Avani are both Michigan fans, so we had to take this shot:
Great shot of his smushed little lips:
Here he is on a weighing scale. I REALLY wanted an old school weighing scale – the kind you use in grocery stores which has a round dial and a hanging pan. Samir and Nirav looked all over for such a scale and couldn’t find one, so Nirav managed to get this one instead, which we had to make do with. Nonetheless, it made for a great picture:
Hopefully Samir and Avani will like the pictures. We had a a lot of fun shooting the images (the shoot lasted for 3 hours!), but it was worth it in the end.
Anyone else having babies? I love photographing newborns, so let me know. The best time to take pictures is while they are less than 10 days old.
I want to thank my beautiful wife for helping me with the props and coming along with me to the shoot to help out. Could not do these photo shoots without her help.
Until next time…
