why are these controversial?

[pink0pirate0princess]

im a photographer, and getting shots like these are near impossible, its a huge skill, and the baby has to be photographed in the first 2 weeks for it to work. any later than that and they will not stay asleep as easy! :) these photos are gorgous!

very nice photos and baby r beautiful and handsome

[jessicleveland]

I don't think they are controversial...these photos are composites...I am also a photographer and they don't really hang a baby in a hammock or place them in bowls with legs and arms hanging out, these are composed of two photos combined.

@vanderwoodsen90 The hanging ones are the controversial ones.....the baby could be in danger. Unless you see the set up...they usually look more scary than they are (mom's and lot's of cushions underneath or someone holding them and then photoshopped out.

I think the poster was confused about these being "conroversial". These babies are actually SLEEPING. The controversial pics are the ones of babies "BORN SLEEPING" aka, dead. I did have a baby who was born sleeping and I am forever grateful to the photographer who came in and took pics of her. Pictures of our little angels keeps them "real" as once gone, nobody ever wants to talk about them anymore or acknowledge that they ever existed.

@dvosejpka lmbo they probably vote too

[JediSwayze]

What's so controversial about this?

[dvosejpka]

I don't know where some of you people came to the conclusion that these babies are dead. I know this photographer and she takes amazing pictures of newborns. Any of the poses where the babies head is propped up or hanging in a sling were supported by a spotter and then the hands were photo shopped out. This photographer is very particular about safety.
