Portraiture

 

       My model's name is Julianne. She has the biggest eyes ever and you can definitely tell through some of these pictures. Although she's only 7 months in this picture, her personality shines through. She wasn't always a happy baby, especially in the beginning when she was in the NICU, but judging from these pictures, she was really content. I was super shocked because the last time I saw her she was only 4 months and it was during the summer. Julianne is still very tiny but when you make faces at her, she sticks her little tongue out and looks right at the camera! I thought this portrait assignment was a lot of fun. I've always wanted to photograph a baby and I was so lucky that I was able to photograph my cousin. It was a bit frustrating during the end because she got tired and zoned off. Whenever she would be caught in the midst of laughing, I tried to capture the moment, but I was stressed that I wouldn't have enough pictures so some of them turned out blurry. I showed my aunt most of the pictures and she fell in love with them. I was really happy with my end results, I think this was a very good project for me and I would love to work with an infant again. I would suggest that you should definitely have a game plan and be prepared. As the photographer, you have control so use it, and mainly have FUN!
