Well here are some photos of the 3 month old from last night. They turned out pretty well I think. Any advice would be helpful, I can't see to figure out how to not have shadows underneath the chin..

Nice pose and setup


Excellent! (but check the white balance)


Focus slightly off, but nice capture


Every parent needs one of these in the album.


Lighting a bit harsh, but it's a great shot.


Good expression, but horrible on-camera flash



Grey skin on a baby? noooooo.....! :)

Regarding 'not having shadows' - What lighting setup did you use for these?

for lighting all i have is a soft box continous light i think i may need more or maybe i'm not using it right
how do i check the white balance

You check the white balance a couple of ways. First, just look at the shot and see if it has a colour cast, it might look too yellow, or too red, or too blue. The reason I mentioned white balance was because this shot looked yellowish to me. But you might have intended it that way;



The other way is to load it into photoshop and take a colour sample of a part of the photo you know should be white (for example a sheet)... see if the rgb value reads as '255,255,255' or similar, all the numbers should be the same, for example 240,239,241 would be slightly grey, but it'd still be okay. If it's something like 210,255,220 then you might have a white balance problem.

But the best way to avoid messing about with white balance in post processing is to get it correct when you take the shot. :)
