I bought it a few weeks ago, hoping to use it as a backdrop for one of my photo shoots. Well, I had my first newborn shoot yesterday afternoon. A sneak peek, and more on that later! So, yesterday morning I got the fabric out, and ironed all the wrinkles. Then I decided to test it out on Little Bear. What do you think? I love the way it looks in black & white.
My entry hall is the perfect spot to get some great natural light. I just hung the fabric up on the wall, opened the front door and started snappin'. This shot (straight out of the camera & blurry) shows you a little of the set-up.
Oh, and then I plopped Barrett into his toy bin. He thought it was hilarious. It lasted about 45 seconds, and I only took about eight pictures. So I was thrilled to get the above two, that I absolutely ADORE! I love his eyes, and that he's looking straight into the camera in the black & white one. That doesn't happen too often! In the other one, he's looking out the front door. Probably watching a squirrel run across the front lawn! I love the expression I caught. I can't wait to find more fun fabric and props to experiment with!
Okay...off to do something outdoors! It's beautiful today and Barrett should be up from his nap any minute. Have a great weekend!! I'm enjoying everyone's {get REAL} Spring Style posts!

I Love that fabric! I really like the look of image #2 (the second pic of the baby). It has a vintage look to it. Did you do that on purpose or was it an accident? Did you run an action on it? If so, what kind? Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these two pics. I think you have such an eye for photograghy. Can't wait to take a class together this spring. The second one IS very vintage looking. The first one melts my heart!!
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric. I am trying to get ideas for our newborn shoot when the baby comes. Maybe I need to start looking for some fabric. I can't wait to start learning more about my camera. I am taking an online class that is starting in a couple of weeks. Here is the link to it: http://www.maggieholmes.typepad.com/workshops/
ReplyDeleteDid you decide on a camera strap?
Love the photos. The fabric looks awesome is both b&w and with the vintage feel. Can't wait to see some photos of the newborn shoot. I'll have to find out what type of SLR you got - very exciting!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally off to do your get real post. Once again - better late than never. :)
I love the black & white... shows of his eyes so well.
