ok..ok.. maybe they are not famous YET..they will be if they keep on being so cute!! Introducing Navya and Nayan to the world! These two cute chickadees are fraternal twins, but I’ll be surprised if you can tell them apart! I have actually never photographed newborns before, but after this shoot, I think I might do it more often! It takes alot of patience and time to photograph babies — I never know if they’re going to cooperate, or choose be awake and crying when their “regular baby schedule” says that they’re supposed to be asleep. I have to be very gentle with them, and provide a warm, comfortable environment for them as they “model” for me =) Most importantly, and also something I am most grateful for, is the trust that their mother have on me, allowing me to be close them, carry and position them, and photograph them. When I’m engrossed on the job, its sometimes easy to forget that my subjects are tiny, fragile little human beings, and I must be careful around them (e.g., I reminded myself to carry my camera around my neck and hold tight when photographing over the babies!)
Post processing newborn photos are SUPER fulfilling. Nothing is better than staring are their cute faces all day! I caught myself unconsciously smiling at the screen several times while editing =) It is extremely satisfying to be able to take these already beautiful baby photos and turn them into gorgeous, perfect, work of art! Enjoy!
