Chin on Hands Pose
I often have parents request this shot and are surprised that this pose is actually a composite image made up of two images put together to create the final image. Your newborn babies safety is paramount to everything I do. I will never put your baby in any danger. A newborn baby’s head is the heaviest part of her body, and it is not safe to expect a baby to be able to support the weight of her head on her wrists in this pose.
During this pose your baby will always have a hand on him/her to support them in this pose. This is not something that can or should be done in one shot.
The baby also needs to be in a very deep sleep for this pose to even be attempted so as the photographer, I must be able to identify babies sleep patterns accuratly to know when will be a good time (if at all) if a good time to try it.
The pictures below show the 2 images taken where the baby is held first at her hands and wrist (to support the entire weight of her head), and then held by her head only (releasing all pressure on the wrists). The 2 images are they put together to create the final image below.
Please trust that at Baby Whispers Photography, the photographer has been trained in newborn safety and is a member of BANPAS.
This baby has not been balanced in this position, nor has the photographer taken the image as quickly as possible before the baby topples over.
The photographer has used a composite image technique using two images and merging them together in photoshop to produce the final image.
