I have a bit of soft spot for photographing newborns…you might have noticed 😀 . A few months ago I was sitting on the DART (the birthplace of many schemes and plans) and I had the thought that since I love it so much why not set up a website completely devoted to newborn photography? As soon as I got home I went online and checked to see if newborn.ie was taken…it wasn’t! I quickly registered it and have been working on it over many late nights ever since.

It’s now ready, in fact it’s been up for a couple of weeks as I know some of you have already discovered it, but I’m officially launching it, well, now!

So, what’s the protocol here…do I smash a bottle of champagne over my monitor?

*PS: The beautiful baby that you see in this post is Mike. His parents were among those who kindly gave me permission to use their children’s photos in my gallery. Thanks guys!

Oh wow. Fantastic. Awesome. Beautiful. I think you are on to something here. I think you’ve proved yourself good enough to be trusted with photographing newborns. Thinking back to when Grace was born, I seem to remember photographing her in her mother’s arms but not taking any of her alone. The challenge will be to find sufficient supply of babies to build up a portfolio. I’ll spread the word in Cork. If I see any seriously pregnant women on the street I’ll let them know their offspring can be shot by you.
Seriously though, I think that’s one of the best photographs I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps you’ll set up a blog devoted to photographs of newborns and invite people to send in their photos – thereby building up interest in quality photographs of newborns.

Stephen Bean UCC, who’s my tutor on the Applied Digital Photography evening course, thought your photos were “very good” and I rate him a tough cookie, someone who wouldn’t say that lightly.

Oh, Claire, what an incredible photo. Good luck with the new venture! Every time I see one of your newborn photos, I just kick myself I didn’t know about you sooner.

Could you install a time machine link?

Stunning photo Claire, greatly composed and perfect bokeh. Full of emotion. A gift to treasure for life for young Mike. It evokes the powerful Star Child image of the movie “2001 A Space Odyssey” for a man of my vintage.

Great idea on www. newborn.ie !
