This wasn’t an ‘official’ newborn photography shoot, just a few images I grabbed while meeting my friend’s new baby boy. Isn’t he beautiful!?
It’s a fine line, when editing newborns, between editing too little and too much. By that I mean, it’s tempting to clean up every blemish and mark and make the skin look absolutely perfect. The problem with that is that I believe that you’re then altering the truth and the honesty of the image too much. I’ve seen newborn shoots done where the skin looks plastic and waxy. I like to think that I fall somewhere in the middle, in that I remove very large temporary marks, but I try to leave the skin texture as it is. I would certainly never remove a birthmark or freckles. Actually, this is true of how I edit adults, too.
Baby yawns are the best.
