Baby Sam

It's wonderful having an adorable son for a myriad of reasons, but as a budding photographer one the better perks of the father job is having constant photographic access to a gorgeous child. Still, even the most beautiful babies are challenging subjects. For one, they don't support themselves so they spend most of their time laying down or being held. Neither pose is particularly flattering. The key is to neutralize backgrounds and distractions to focus purely on the baby. Here are a few recent shots of my baby, Sam, as well as his "cousin", Kelly.
