Here’s my Sammie at 3 months or so.  I took these with my high key studio set up.

Camera Equipment and Settings:

Canon 20D
Canon 50 mm lens
Set at 160 and 5.6

Lighting:

One alien bee B800 w/ softbox(camera right) - set to approx. 1/16th power
One alien bee B800 w/ umbrella (camera left) set to approx. 1/16th power
One alien bee B800 set to 1/8 power - pointed at background only

Post-Processing using Photoshop
Kodak Digital Gem Airbrush for skin softening
Multiple Choice eye pop action where needed
Kevin Kubota’s “warm black and white with snap” action on selected images

Props and Background

White seamless paper for background
Baby lying on blanket with pillow stuffed underneath for support.
Good for babies who cannot sit up but can hold up their head.

Now for the pics:
