Newborn Portraits and Photography
Photographed a newbie today, well, not really a newbie, 18 days old, and I have to tell you, I am always totally amped when creating my portraits, but there is something oh so special about a newbie, that new baby smell, the softness, they seem so light and precious, and the proud parents are so loving and caring. There really is nothing like a newborn baby.
This image, (from the back of my camera), or any other from this two hour session, once it is processed and art-worked and printed archivealy onto canvas or acid free paper, will be a magnificent piece of art, and will be seen every day for years when it is hung on your wall, and will be around forever, even for this little newbies granddaughter to see and admire…..
And that is awesome.
The thing that gets me is that so many people today think digital files are superior to having a printed piece of art of that once in lifetime portrait, and while digital files are great for sharing with your friends, you know that you will eventually lose that file over the years either to a computer crash, operating system changes, or just plain sloppiness in your or your heirs filing system.
What a shame it would be to deny this newbies granddaughter of enjoying this image……….

and on another note, here I am looking a little weary, though not too worse for wear after 21 miles into a 31 .07 mile race the other day at South Mountain Reservation in Maplewood, NJ. What a beautiful day it was in the middle of February in New Jersey. The race is put on by NJ Trail Series, run by race director Rick McNulty and his wife Jennifer. If you ever want to participate in a great trail race, check these guys out.
…………and the running streak has now hit 3342 days in a row!
yikes!
