I captured this sweet moment at a recent newborn session at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. The baby was only a few days old and was resting comfortably on the pillow. The parents were looking down gently at their baby, when I asked them to hold her hand. This is the first time I have captured a pose like this. I just love the curvature of the parent's hands. The image is perfect for a black and white rendition.
