taking pictures of newborn babies

Oh the joys of photographing newborn babies. Do you have an newborn baby? Or are you expecting one? Make sure you capture those precious moments!! They change in a matter of weeks, literally. I usually photograph my newborn babies within their first ten days of life (as much as possible).

Here are a couple of shots of some sweet little newborns and the settings that I used to capture these particular images…

My manual settings:
ISO – 1600
aperture – F 4
shutter speed – 1/160 second
lens – canon 100mm macro 2.8L
camera body – canon 5D mark II

My manual settings:
ISO – 800
aperture – F 3.2
shutter speed – 1/200 second

My manual settings:
ISO – 2500
