Education and Props for Newborn Photographers

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.
