*Image by Ten Tiny Toes Photography*
So many people have asked me why I don't do the propped baby head pose. As cute as it is this is why I don't. What many non photographers don't realize is that particular pose(as well as MANY others) is what is called a composite image. I am not a fan of composite images or excessive editing and I just feel this is more editing than I would like to get an "unnatural" pose when there are many more poses that are more natural that are just as cute. This picture is from last year but thought it was a great example of a natural pose similar to the head propping pose except this one is one image no composite editing.
I am in NO means saying composite images or the photographers who choose to do them are a bad thing, they just aren't my "cup of tea". If you choose to search out a photographer who does PLEASE find one that does them safely. No shot is worth hurting a baby!
Other natural poses throughout my time with photography.
Arms crossed. Beanbag with a slight slant. Mom or Dad on both sides.
Bean bag flat. Baby on side.
Bean bag dipped in with baby laying on back.
Baby on side. Baby's arm is tucked under head for support.
Again baby's arm is tucked under head to give it a lift off of the scale. Mom directly next to baby.
Probably the most natural pose a baby can do!
