We've been busy with this little squirming bundle of crying - our daughter Phoebe!

Here are some of the "studio" shots I've taken over the last few days - generally the lighting is two SB-800s shooting through white brollies. I now have a newfound respect for Ms Geddes and co - it is so bloody hard to work with babies!!

I'm sure I'll get better over time, and looking forward to the shoots when she can sit up and interact with the camera a bit more :)

Fantastic, Des...you have a beautiful daughter and, combined with her Mum, two great girls :!: :!:

Chryssine says to tell you both congratulations...she's very envious with 3 sons, 4 grandsons and no sign yet of a little pink bundle of joy :lol:

Could not agree more - given the number of photos you will take, printing some off is vital, otherwise they just end up sitting as a bunch of 0s and 1s on your harddrive and maybe a website. :D

We got one of those cheap digital frames just for this reason. Our son is almost 22 months and its great to see the rotation from birth to now. Its funny how you think how cute they are at the time and they just keep getting cuter!!
