Thanks! I have done my fair share of newborn shoots, but each time I learn something new. When I look back at when I started doing them (2010) I am horrified by how bad I was! One big pitfall that many won't consider is how it will make your wife want more babies!!!!!

I really have to agree with Denise, these are excellent.

Indeed wonderful baby shots! What do you do/apply to make them a bit dreamy ? negative clarity? Or perhaps it's just the subject...

Subject, DoF, Light and Negative Clarity :-)

Newborns are really something. Looking at the pictures I can see how many people would want more. Have you tried taking a video of walking with an infant screaming its lungs out in the wee hours? It just might be the only antidote to newborn pics.

I agree, that image is tattooed to my brain for sure!!!

Hi all -

I've been away this past week, on a wildlife photography workshop in Jasper National Park. I was part of a small group of people being guided by John Marriott, Canada's premier wildlife photographer. I learned a huge amount, and came away with a few keepers too. Here's a sampling:

Monster-sized bull elk, in the middle of the woods (I was 20 metres away, trying desperately not to shake).


"None shall pass!" 500 mm lens with 1.4 TC


Soaking up the sun. 70-200 mm lens at f/5.6


A gorgeous white ptarmigan. This one took a huge amount of work, as we had to wade through hip-deep snow to get close enough.


Bald eagle on a very favourable perch.

It looks like it was worthwhile workshop. Great set of shots.
