Levi Robbins

What a sweet baby boy! I really enjoyed photographing baby Levi. He let me position him any way I wanted and never fussed a bit. He just kept on napping.  Be sure to scroll down so you can see a special photograph I created.

The adorable knit hat that Levi is wearing was hand-made by a sweet friend. Thank you Elisabeth! Here's a link to her Facebook page if you would like one of your own https://www.facebook.com/elisabeth.smithhartley

I thought I would show a little behind the scenes of what it took to get this shot. Since it's not safe to position a newborn baby like this alone, I took two pictures and made a composite. I had an assistant behind the backdrop sitting on a bean-bag propping baby up from underneath and Mom positioning his head and hands.  Let me just say that this was incredibly difficult as I had to have everything set just right to capture it. I hardly took a breath until the 2 shots were over and I could breathe a sigh of relief. It's super important that you know what you're doing in attempting a shot like this because you never want to jeapordize a baby's safety.  It just isn't worth it!  So, here is the before and the after (plenty of time was taken retouching).
