Images By Travis & Angie Hill

Now I will admit when it comes to posing babies for the type of shots I like to do, well there is really no posing to it. I just like to get super close to the eyes, and try to make the photos compositionally pleasing. I will talk a little about why I like each of the following images rather tan explain the posing techniques. I hope this helps.

Image 1. For me I like this image because of a few things. One the composition. the baby is off to the left of the frame and to the right is a very soft glow. The eyes are very sharp and the color has been bumped up just slightly in photoshop. I think that when selling images the eyes of babies are going to be key. Make sure you focus on the eyes. This image was shot with a 50mm at f/3.5

Image 2. Of course I like the expression in this photo. The baby looks happy and content. I made this image black and white because there was no really color that popped out at me originally. I say if it’s not “ALL” about the color, it should be black and white. This image was shot with an 85mm at 1.8

Image 3. I like this image because of the soft orange glow that surrounded the baby. The composition has the her eyes just off center. I felt this was a great expression.

Image 4. I like this one because it is a pose in motion. We laid the baby down on some pillows and just let her have fun. I shot this with a 50mm at f/1.4 That created a nice shallow depth of field that draws the viewer in to the subject.
