It is going to be a great week with several babies to have fun with in the studio. I am so thankful to some really nice people willing to help build my portfolio. Tried to PS out the straps but with the gradient on the smooth skin, it was giving me too much trouble. In a way, the photo almost needs them.

Archer is 11 months old. CC is very welcome and appreciated.

I like your first shot...nice...

[princer7]

Thank you, Tony. I really love the babies.

Love those! Mind sharing where you found the rug?

I ordered 2 yards (6'x60") of Mongolian Faux Fur from Fabric Empire- they have it in several colors. They are on Facebook too and occasionally have coupons.

i think it would be cool to clone out the straps and throw some clouds on the BG

I like them. If you have an impossible time with the straps, I think it would be worth it to pay a nominal fee to a very experienced Photoshop retouch artist to remove them. If for nothing else, for the sake your portfolio.

Thanks for the recommendation to push it further. I did a quick edit with one of the photos and added clouds and removed the strap.

The straps really kick my butt with the gradient on the skin tones.

That is not a bad job at all. Better than I could have done. The clouds add a much-needed touch.

[princer7]

I agree!! The clouds really help finish the image. I'll have lots of straps to practice with

I showed these to my wife and she said "SEE, we could have been doing really cute shots like this but you didn't think of them."

Note to self, do not show my wife any more of your baby photos.

haha

Really nice shots there, and the clouds do add a lot more to the image IMO.

Thank you Eliud and Keith! Anytime you are around Austin, Keith, you are welcome to stop by with the family and use any props or backgrouds I have.
