Mikayla’s (the adorable 3 month old below) Mom, a fellow friend and photographer, asked if I would help her with a newborn triplet session. With the “casting call” in full swing, how could I resist? I know I mentioned below that I wasn’t going post any of the casting call images, but I have done this pose before, so what the heck? :) Today it turned out a lot more like I had envisioned, though! A lot more “tucked in”.Let me brag about these babies for a moment… Mom took doctors orders like a saint and went on bedrest at 20 weeks. This helped these little ones gestate until 36 weeks!!! They weighed 4 lbs 13 oz, 5 lbs 5 oz and 5 lbs 13 oz. And ALL 3 came home together, just 48 hours after birth! Isn’t that AMAZING? They are 7 days old here.  © carrie sandoval

Newborn baby casting call

Ok, it’s killing me to not post some images from my first casting call session. But, I have come to the conclusion that I am going to keep these images to myself so that there will be some delicious surprises in the Barebaby book! Mom, who is fellow San Diego photographer, was amazing to work with and up for *anything*. I was able to pull off 2 of my ideas with her adorable, 4 day old little lady. Thanks so much R, for being so adventurous!

The Newborn Casting Call!

newborn baby casting call san diego

I am super excited about these “sessions”. As I have said before, I just love sketching ideas for newborns before a session. More often than not, the ideas go un-attempted because my little subjects (and the parents!) are spent after a full session involving blanket, backdrop, grouping and setting changes. My ideas may or may not (I don’t know because I haven’t tried them yet!) be more time consuming and risky (as in waking baby and starting all over, not as in putting them in danger!). So, the artist in me *really* wants to put these ideas in motion so I’ve decided to call out for willing subjects!

These casting call sessions will:

• Be free of charge (however, prints may be purchased at regular rates).

• Be goaled towards capturing a single image / pose (but if time and patience permits, additional poses and images may be attempted).

• Require a model release (most likely the image will be published).

• Be held at either Carrie’s studio or outdoor location of Carrie’s preference.

The current casting calls are for:

• Dark skinned newborns.

• Newborn triplets, either one week of age or within one week of age of coming home from the nicu (preferably with minimal time spent in the nicu).

ETA: I would like to thank all of you for the interest and kind words. And I am happy to have inspired other photographers to do similar casting calls as I am sure you have your own ideas. Just remember, use your own words! We couldn’t possibly have the same ideas :)
