Portraits of my step granddaughter taken earlier today. Really pleased with how they turned out, and thought I'd share a couple...

I can't wait for my 2 boys to produce a little one to me....That i can give back

I remember distincly my boys at that age and me just sniffing them all the time. Don't know if it's the johnsons or what but i love the smell of new babies

My nephew is subject to camera flashes all the time now:

Yeah right There's so much to learn. I only used the most simple of lighting, and the cheapest

Best thing for me was the blue background though. Bought it on ebay a long time ago, but never liked the colour on the roll - its a dull blue. But decided to try it out yesterday, and stuck with it the whole day.

Its fantastic, when lit with a flash. Used a small head either to the right and above, or from the bottom and centre, and let it light the paper roll ina graduated manner....stunning results, and only cost £10
