I know this is not exactly like the other 5 min portraits but I felt it was worthy of the title 5 Min Portrait.
I went over to my friend Bill and Casey’s house to see their 10 week old newborn Billy. I did shoot video of the entire thing but felt that it was not strong enough to cut together this time around.
You will hear me explain the situaiton in the video below how Billy fell asleep right when we started which made it pretty hard to get interesting pictures. Following getting some ok pictures I sat down with Bill to discuss what we learned form the session and how it did not go exactly as we had hoped. You will see that at the very end of the video.

Gordon Ramsay doesn't have the fro.

Can you use flash when shooting infants? If not, how old should a baby be before you burn their retinas?
Why are you so against cropping?
Took me a couple of seconds, but I did get your "shoot raw" joke near the end of the video. And being a dad myself, I want a shirt more than ever. Good one, Jared.
