Here is a little more info:

This photo was taken a couple days ago of my newborn son. He is one week old today. This is the first smile of his that I have captured on film. Thanks for taking the time to view my picture, I welcome any and all comments.

Eddie,

I remember you saying that you would have a new little guy to photograph. Congratulations! He's precious. I can't believe all of that hair! Great that you captured his smile so early.

I don't know how I missed this wonderful shot . . .it's just precious!!!

I love the lighting and how his little face is darker without the stripes of light across it. Was this altered or did you shoot it like that? #186625

Thanks Roseann! The photo is unaltered. I have a sliding glass door with vertical blinds in my living room and the afternoon light is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on this shot, I appreciate it! #186904
