B-Cookie has two teeth on the bottom and will BITE you if you don’t watch out. She looks sweet, but seriously, she will BITE you.

B-Cookie celebrates her first New Years. Hello 2010!

We started B-Cookie on solid food today. What a cutie pie! She has just thoroughly enjoyed a bowl of rice cereal. Mmmmm.

More B-Cookie. Why? Because B-Cookie sits still and can’t get away from me. Using natural light coming from behind camera through a North facing window. Shot at 1/80 f2.8 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1/4 lens on a Nikon D200.

B-Cookie takes a bath. She is very calm and never screams or cries in the bathtub. That’s good, because she spits up a lot and often smells like cheese.

Sisters. How cute! I think K-Cat may have a few things to learn, ha ha.

B-Cookie is getting so much bigger and she loves her tummy time. I can’t stop looking at her red hair.

Now I have to come up with gimmicks just to post more pictures of B-Cookie. Have a great day!

More baby feet, and more of Grandpa’s hard working hands. I wish I had a fancy quote for baby feet, they make me feel closer to heaven. Although I had a friend and her baby girl kind of had stinky feet. I still don’t know how you get a baby to have stinky feet.

This is a one light set up. A SB600 1/8 power directly above and behind camera about 2 or 3 feet from subject shot through a shoot through umbrella. I am shooting about 2 feet from subject. Camera set at 1/80 f3.5 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. The baby’s legs were wrapped with a piece of black velvet that was spread out to make a light sucking black background.

This one is a two light set up.
1. Key light SB600 1/4 power 3 feet from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella.
2. Fill light LumoPro 120 1/8 power 3 feet from subject 45 degrees camera left through a shoot through umbrella.
3. There is a large North facing window behind the camera.
I am shooting about 2 feet away from subject with a lower shutter speed to capture ambient light, settings 1/30 f7.1 ISO 200. Shot with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. I wanted very gentle soft even light. Baby is laying on a fuzzy/fleecy white blanket.
