Naked Babies…
I love me some babies… and they are especially adorable when they’re naked. Think about it…what other time in life are you said to be cute because of your rolls of fat??? Take advantage of it while you can is what I say. Milk that michelin man look for all it’s worth.
I normally try to work some just diaper or naked shots into a session for little ones who are 6 to 9 months old if the parents are ok with it. This means you have to crank up the heat, but usually these turn out to be my favorite shots.
I warn the parents that the baby is more than likely going to pee on the background, so don’t worry about it because I can easily clean it. Just make sure they don’t pee on you if you are holding them! This has turned out to be especially interesting with boys, because it happens 99% of the time. However, what I have discovered is that this is probably the first time they have ever actually seen themselves pee. Maybe in the bathtub, but they are in water, so it’s just not the same. It is hilarious to watch, because they are fascinated with the process. I mean, think about it, how many people just let their kids sit around naked on the floor? Who wants to clean that up? So, I get some great expressions as they marvel in their new found talent and we (me and the parents) are usually cracking up, which makes the kids start laughing.
This exact phenomenon happened recently with my friend’s little boy. He is about 10 months old in these pics. Here are a few clothed and naked (big difference from nekkid…).
What's not cute about a baby in a bucket? He thought it was good times.
All we need now is a bear rug...how cute is he I ask you???
naked is good, but Mom picked out a pretty spiffy outfit as well...
I was probably sticking my tongue out at him on this one...
