What’s Gotta Stay

Here we have some baby feet taken of a co-worker’s newborn almost 2 years ago.  Still one of my favorites I have taken of this concept.

To take this photo as well as others in the series, the baby was too young to be propped up on some pillow, or perhaps I just didn’t have the right props.  Using two strobes set up in their living room, I had the husband hold the baby in his lap while draped in a black muslin.

I was happy here also with the depth of field on the image, creating a selective detail in the foreground while still including a hint of the rest of the baby in the background.
