With digital cameras it is very easy to convert any image to black and white. Just which images look the best in black and white depends on the artistic imagery of the photography. Newborn skin tones are so colorful the first 10 days of life, that I rarely convert newborn images to black and white, with the exception of the photograph you see in this post. I asked the parents to gently lift the baby's head using their cupped hands. If the baby is sleeping this can be a very artful image which lends itself to black and white photography.
Did you know that a baby's eyes at birth are almost the size they will be at adulthood? I photograph newborns everyday at my studio in Duluth or at my studio at a local hospital. I always photograph newborns with their eyes open. Sure the sleeping baby photos are cute, but don't forget the awake ones. The parents will thank you and your sales will be higher.
