So here is 0.000000006% of the shots I took during my first infant shoot.
Please let me know what is good/bad. Shot with Canon 6d, 430exii off camera, and various lenses (100mm L macro, 24-105L, 135 f/2L, 50 1.4)

Several of those have a really cool feel which I don't think works for a sleeping baby/corpse.
Just warm them up.

By warm up, you're referring to white balance adjustments correct?

Yep. Go crazy with WB on fashion or more artsy stuff, but for most portraiture cool tones wash you out, and that's not attractive on a naked baby.

a lot of the shots have a hot/specular flash look to them, like this one. WB looks warm...like a mix of daylight and tungsten. limbs could be better positioned to hide the weird crotch shot. the green pacifier sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of color scheme. odd looking edge light on the right leg.
wagon by Trench301, on Flickr
best shot of the bunch. lighting, color
In the Petals by Trench301, on Flickr
back looks weird due to the right hand covering up the armpit lines.
In Good Hands by Trench301, on Flickr
blurry
Foot in Hand by Trench301, on Flickr
looks flat and monster lit. think in terms of window lighting. where would a window be?
Finley 1 by Trench301, on Flickr
too much fire pit. just get enough to get the idea of setting. artificial vignette effect.
By the Fire by Trench301, on Flickr
weird angle
Blue Blanket by Trench301, on Flickr
yea...the b/w, lack of pacifier, and flowers is giving that corpse feel like someone mentioned.

try to soften up your light. either w/ modifiers, or a white wall/board to bounce into. specular light will give a feeling of outdoors. so when it's in an indoor setting, it looks a little odd. positioning w/ the idea of window lighting is a good starting point.

shot 1, toes cut off, focus is on the radio flyer logo, not her eyes.
2 looks a little weird with the flower cutting off half her face
4, the shutter speed was too slow
5 and 6 not a fan of the crop. get tighter or wider
7 is corepsesque and 8 i'm not wild about the reverse vignette.
but, i don't look at a lot of baby shots so what do it know. those are outsider impressions. i tried to shoot some once for a friend and it was lame. laaaaaame.

very basic thing
get FUCKING LOWER.
you gotta be level with THEM. anything looking down looks lame unless it's a complete overhead shot.

So I realize that I deleted most of the original pics...but I did a second new born shoot and I figured I would share to show progress.
