Here I go, giving tribute to the man of many identities. At first glance I thought, another winner from Teresa and then there's the Jeff signature!Too adorable my friend. The isolation of the sleeping beauty in the black background is perfect and the DOF leads you to the precious face.
No suggestions unless you wish to complete the symmetry by cropping a bit off the right to match the edges of the sling with the corners, but really not necessary. A real winner. #8843316

This is awesome, Jeff. I love the black background. It sets this beautiful baby off to full advantage. I do agree with Dale on making the symmetry even more stunning! The blue blanket is perfect. I think it would have been just too stark without a bit of pastel in this image. Great job, Jeff. #8843611Carla Capra Anderson August 17, 2010 0
Jeff, I find this to be an absolutely lovely image.My weak area of photography is portraits and I will not make any suggestions here. Leaving critiquing up to those more knowledgeable.
Wonderful image and I've so enjoyed viewing it.

What a couple of cuties! You've done a great job capturing the sweet innocence of these 2 babies. Would have to agree that some skin softening here would be advantageous so as to even out their skin tones. Other than that, I think they are all precious. #8845425Aimee C. Eisaman August 19, 2010 0
O Jeff these are adorable. I don't think I've ever seen you do a baby picture. Is this one of Bean's slings? I think the skin tone looks fine and think each shot you have posted here is equally adorable. Seriously are they twins? The one looks so much bigger than the other. I do love the BW of the twin one....classic looking! :~) I think with the first one the DOF could have been a tad deeper if possible. I'm not sure what kind of lighting setup you had. Please share! #8846705

Thanks all! I appreciate your kind comments.Aimee - you are right, I have not done a baby shoot before, and yes, this is one of Bean's creations. Yup, they are twins. They are about 3 weeks old.
These were shot using my hot lights and a fill flash. #8848076
