smarty pants dance

ok so i don't really like photoshop for portraits.  it has some cool tricks, but when it comes down to it, i prefer to just take a good picture the first time.  that is usually my goal.  but what the client wants, i try to deliver.  recently i had a photoshoot with a cute little newborn.  newborn photography is tricky.  not that it is hard to take a cute picture of a baby.  the tricky part is that right now putting babies in unnatural poses (ie with their hands holding their head up) and places (pick a bucket, any bucket.  insert baby) is very popular.  if you know newborns, then you know they are not able to hold their head up with their hands, or anything like that.  so unless you hire a professional who knows photoshop you are either not going to get the photo or you are going to put the baby at risk.  anyway all that blah blah blah is leading up to is that i am pretty darn proud of this photo i just did.  it is not my natural style, but i think it looks pretty cute and i know the client will be happy.  here's the before and after.
 this baby was a mover and a shaker, so mom held on to her to keep her from flailing right off the bed.
