Tara Lemana
Oh my gosh Deb this is STUNNING!!! I wish I knew how to take portraits like this, it is just so honest and beautiful, the way you’ve captured this beautiful little baby’s purity and innocence!!!
collectivebydeb replied
Hey Tara – thanks SO much for the gorgeous comment & for taking the time to view my work ! This shot was taken during a baby posing workshop – I am really passionate about family & newborn photography & like you wanted to learn more – on the day we explored baby posing & then took our own shots – as simple as this pic looks – it was the most difficult of all shots taken on the day as the baby’s head MUST be held during the shoot at all times – so there was ALOT of post editing !!! I absoutely LOVE capturing babies as they are – without alot of props as like you mentioned you really want to capture their purity – I have just finished my baby studio & await more beautiful babies !!! :)
Julie Thomas
Amazing shot!!! love the pose… just so cute!

Emma Collins
Oh that’s so beautiful – I love Kelly Ryden’s photos, you wouldn’t believe how envious of you Australians for having her over in your neck of the woods, I would love her to come to the UK! I’m amazed that you had to post edit out an arm, you would never believe it, do you always have to hold the head?
collectivebydeb replied
hey thanks SO much Emma – feel so fortunate to have spent an entire day shooting at Kelley’s Melbourne workshop – she is such an inspiration – hope you get the chance to attend a workshop over in the UK – you should email her !!! Kelley makes post editing look so easy – I found it much harder but am really happy to read your lovely comment & yes baby’s head must be held at all times as it would be so easy for the baby’s head to flop down – Kelley really stressed the importance of the babies safety !! Thanks for dropping by & for commenting – cheers deb :)
