going black and white with ayden

not sure why, but there's something about using black and white for newborn photography that i just love. it's forgiving for any blemishes, it's classic and timeless, and you just focus on the love and amazement of the new baby.

in taking these pictures, i will admit that i was drawing heavily on lots of other newborn photography that i've seen. hey, don't fix what isn't broken, right?
and some i had to try just to see if i could do them. with the magic of photoshop, i can!

there are many more photos (in color, too!) on flickr, so please check them out.congratulations, jeremy and lindsay. you have a heartbreaker :)
