I have clients tell me all the time, ” We trust you”, “We are up for anything!” I love it that my clients feel comfortable enough with me and my work to say this and it’s not something I take lightly. There is a whole new level of trust when it comes to newborns. So when I had this idea to “hang” a baby from a limb I needed to pick a client who I knew felt totally comfortable with me. I didn’t have an image to show them and the best way I could describe it was that I wanted to hang a baby from a limb like a cocoon. The “B” family never flinched and said, “We trust you.” So I have been planning this set up for weeks. From the limb (fresh cut by my wonderful husband), to the knot, to the fabric, and of course the lighting. I have been practicing and shooting it over and over. I even put my dog in some fabric to test, yes my dog! It had to be totally safe and it had to look awesome too! Several fabrics, knots and set ups later we had a winner. Now, all I needed was that beautiful new baby.
His parents were absolutely wonderful…I could not have done this without their help. From the bottom of my heart thank you!
If we get enough comments to this post I’ll post my dog shots. I have some I took of Emma’s babies in it too.
I think he looks like a little birdie in the second one. Congratulations “B” family he’s perfect and you guys rock!!
