I did a little "playing" in Photoshop on this one: Adjusted the contrast slightly and added a soft diffuse glow.

Taken indoors, studio lighting.

Beautiful image Brianne. Evokes a great deal of emotion for me, must be very moving for mom. Wonderful.

  WOW!! Your gallery is truly amazing, I want to comment on each photo!!!! I love the classicness of the b&w's!!!

How do you get the baby pictures to be so completely black like that?

Really amazing!!!

  Wow, Collette...what a compliment! Considering I still feel like an amateur, those are wonderful things to hear!

As far as the black goes, I don't really do anything. I bought a pure black muslin backdrop and that's it...no playing in Photoshop or anything. I got mine on Ebay for about $70 and its HUGE...10'x20'. Hope that helps!

  BEST NEWBORN PICTURE OF 2005

It's just perfect ~ you've done an outstanding job here, Brianne!

And yes, I've also bought a background from Ebay and another from Adorama.com and have been thrilled!

Now, if I could just order up a baby and beautiful mother.....

  Wow! Thanks so much, Terrill! The mom in this picture was a lady I stopped in Target when she was pregnant because I thought she was so cute! So, being bold DOES pay off!! :-)
