    I love your videos! I have a Digital SLR camera and have taken some really good pictures. Your videos are helping me to learn more about studio lighting and technique.

    Some pretty ideas. I don't love the idea of the blanket parts of the props being thrown around on the floor and then the newborn laying on them. When my daughter was a newborn I was very conscience about that sort of thing. Even if it is not truely "germy" it's the perception. I noticed the mom makes a face at about that point too when she looks over at the dad. This could have been for an entirely different reason, it's just an observation. I wouldn't want the mom to feel like I had anything other than the best interest of her baby in mind.

    Hello, videos and very didactic teaching, I would like to know the extent of the floors, Thanks

  14. DOROTA Kishel says

    Hi, where can I buy the floors seen in this video? Thank you in advance. Oh and what size are they?

    The scarf idea is great. I would use a pool noodle or a rolled up blanket..the teacher seems very erratic and a bit annoying.

  16. Raymond Isbill says

    Try using a pool noodle instead of the door stopper. They are cheap and you can cut to length.
