the bean has finished roasting

I photographed my first newborn last week. Here he is 8 days old. This experience has left me feeling that I would like to photograph more newborns 'cause they're so easy...at least this little guy was. He slept a lot, was quiet, and let me put him into different positions with nary a peep. They also had a 2 yr. old that was cute, but uncooperative until I was packing up my gear ready to leave. Some photographers are kid whisperers...I think I'm a baby whisperer myself. They don't scare me the way 2-7 yr. olds do. I instinctively know what to do when a baby gets upset, but an indifferent child I barely know worries me. I rarely feel I have the mettle to turn a kid around, but if I do remember to take time out and hang with them without their parents, the outcome usually turns in my favour.
