Thanks useful information: 0
In my view you cant go past black background.
Set up a black backdrop and a single light source.
Have someone in a black shirt hold the baby in an appropriate pose such as the image on this site http://www.kidsphotography.com.au and you can photoshop the rest as required.
Can be taken in jpg but you have more control over image manipulation in RAW
hmmm...

Rubber duck for sure
Good luck buddy!
Post processing my images now, what do people think, mainly B&W? or colour?
so far its looking mainly black and white.. but its hard sometimes to choose :P
I really like B/W... especially stuff with alot of grain.
but that is just me

A bit of both always goes well for a photo album, but it depends on the shot. You'll know when they're processed which way to go.
...and thanks for the tips here folks. I've been asked to do a baby shoot myself and was wondering how to tackle this. Babies are not really my forté, but this is a favour.

Some stalk, some chase and some pursue... but I hunt.
Preferably a bounced flash off the ceiling, maybe diffused would be better. Baby skin is very pale and it is easy to overexpose. You will need to experiment with the lighting before you start. I use my flash off camera as well.
Check out the thread I posted this week titled Baby Collage
An honest C+C please!

Just a small thing to add is not to take the picture flat on the face. Get it at a good angle, maybe something like 45 degrees and the baby will have a more plump cute look...
