Hi Ben, I have to disagree, I think they're really odd. While they are technically good the poses and situations the infants are in is so unnatural that it boarders on the disturbing.
Cheers,Ben

I disagree. I really like the unusual poses. It's not that different to the Anne Geddes stuff that you see plastered all over Clintons!

Fair point, I don't like the Anne Geddes baby images either - so I guess that figures. The other thing which I find a bit odd for 'portrait' is the fact that the eyes are shut in all the shots. IMHO, BB

I can't stand the Anne Geddes stuff - this is different enough, and not so cutesy.

I get your point about the closed eyes though. It's unusual and slightly - well odd is probably the best word - but I quite like it because of that.

I like them too - sure they need supplementing with some wide eyed baby shots that we all love but in themselves they`d be a great addition to any parents album.

It's perfectly natural to stick a baby into a sack, how else do you think the stork delivers them anyway? ;)

The stork can't use a sack - babies take about 2 weeks to solidfy once they've arrived and if you stuck them in a sack they would leack out. :p

Ditto, and they look content enough to me too.
