A mommy and her newborn take a self-portrait.

Written by Adrienne Gray

It's offcial y'all, I've got baby fever. Which is probably a good thing since I'll have my own in my arms in just a few weeks!

But it was confirmed by self-diagnoses yesterday when, on Facebook, I saw my sweet friend/fellow momtographer Rachel and her newborn baby "A's" self-portraits.  And here's a fair warning, if you don't want baby fever... don't scroll down!!!

But even better, this super momma/sleepless wonder/beauty queen took the time to tell us how she did it!

Standing against a painted wall with a window to her right, Rachel set up her camera with a speedlight bounced off of the ceiling.  Her Sony camera using a Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens was set to f/3.2 ss 1/80 iso 400. She set her self-timer, posed and came out with pictures so sweet, you can practically smell the newborn smell.

Congratulations Rachel, and thank you for sharing such sweet sweet pictures!
