Not very original, but...I struggle with this too. <br /><br />Not very original, but I have always wanted to shoot an expectant mom and partner at a bookstore- mom "reading" a pregnancy book (or something like) and dad reading something about cars or sports (or whatever he is in to). Facial expressions are key here. I also like shots with expectant mom and dad next to eachother, with dad holding a watermelon or ball in front if his belly (belly shot only). Kinda cheesy, but I think its cute. <br /><br />I havent done a ton of newborn shoots, and the ones I have done have all requested the traditional poses. Next time I think I may try a few shots of the baby in his/her cradle or crib, because mom's put a lot of thought into selecting furniture and bedding, and it would be nice to document it for them. (I think a maternity shot in the nursery would be nice too.) I like the basket shots, but I think using a gift-wrapped box would be great for Christmas.<br /><br />I plan to do some pics for one of my nephews soon, and plan to pose him in my sister's (his mom) guitar case.Jamie Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153784052700789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347948732808852195.post-67093718762404674202009-10-22T15:48:27.360-07:002009-10-22T15:48:27.360-07:00another GREAT newborn photographer...

The wardrobe was more jeans and a solid colored shirt (in the particular shoot I found), with maybe a brick wall and one prop like an old chair. I felt like it was a step away from the traditional, like you mentioned. Might be worth googling. :)maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105147433602906854noreply@blogger.com
