During the seminar that both Nicole and I attended, we signed up for a shoot-out. What is that? It very similar to a cook off, except whoever gets the best picture wins.

The shoot-out consisted of 5 photographers, 5 digital retouchers – we were not aware of what we were going to photograph before we were thrown into the mix. As I entered the room, I was the first victim on the photographer side of the shoot-out, I saw that I had a female model, an old wooden golf club and an orange plastic truck. And I only had 5 minutes to capture an image that I could use for my digital retoucher, which I was very fortunate to have Tabitha Norris (from The Metropolitan Gallery) do my digital retouching. From this effort we received the most number of votes from our peers, of approximately 1,000 members, on a website that ideas about anything that involves photography is shared.

Nicole and Dawn Sheree (from DS Photography) came in second place with their effort.

Here is the image that took first place:
Photographer – Bruce Nicol
Digital Retoucher – Tabitha Norris

When is the best time to have your little bundle of joy photographed? Immediately – because we can capture the new baby smell. Just kidding. The reason we like to photograph newborns between 0-2 weeks of age is because we can capture them sleeping and we can have them in position that are comfortable to them which makes great portraits.

Here is a little guy that we photographed recently. He was the perfect little gentleman, and we loved the images that we captured of him.
