I decided a while ago before our son Xavier was born that I would do my best and complete a full year of photographs to document his 1st year of life.
A little late with the pics, as some of you already know, my wife ended up suffering badly with septicemia after the c-section arrival of Xavier. I have somehow still managed to get a picture on the day.
I don't have anything special like the props you see in a lot of newborn photographs, so I am just hoping I can get something different in the looks department each day. The first 11 days or so are in the hosptal.
A big %age of the pics will be taken on my 50d and 85mm 1.8, which is proving to be a very nice lens. On the odd occasion I will have to use my phone for pics, as carrying my main stuff around is just not doable, hopefully I will win the lottery and buy a csc for those very days
So on with the pics
Day 1
Xavier, Day 1 by scilly puffin, on Flickr
Straight from the c-section and on to the checks, born at a weight of 9lb 2oz!
Day 2

Day 3, with Grandma and Grandad

Just natural light used here, plus a bit of over exposure and a play in elements, quite a challenge to get these shots looking good.
Day 4
