Now that Iāve found a room in the house that gets decent sunlight Iām experimenting with photography. Ashley was a most excellent model for me

Great pics! I stink at photography and do not have good natural light coming in my house. My house is a ranch style built in 1983 and it just was not set up to let a lot of light in.

Same, there is literally no sunlight coming in my house, EXCEPT for fleeting times in the day at certain places, like my daughterās bedroom lol.

OK, take it with a grain of salt, as I am not the best photographer
While your vintage chair look so adorable, I think it wasnāt the greatest prop to photograph a sleeping preemie-sized baby. I understand itās a doll, but sleeping baby just doesnāt look natural in that position, unless itās an older baby who can sit and accidentally fall asleep while sitting. If you would use a basket that would be great!
Disclaimer: I do photograph sleeping rooted babies in the sitting position ONLY to show their swirl rooting.
I hope I didnāt hurt your feelings.

@chatrat thank you!
And @YelenaRey I agree with you! The posing isnāt the best- it was a rush job as both of my kids were home and needing my attention, haha.
As far as the chair itself, I know a lot of newborn pictures are done on smaller furniture and appear precarious, but there is always someone nearby āspottingā (their hands/bodies are often photoshopped out). So while I should have curled her up more, the chair itself is well within the realm of newborn props 
Lots of cute examples online!

You could also use the rocker/chair similar to this pic where the baby is in a bucket/basket thingy on top of the chair!
Btw, I Love the last pic you took

Ooh, @YelenaRey is that was you meant? The basket on top of the chair? I thought you meant instead of.
Thatās cute! The chair is really small (toddler size) and Iām not sure I have a basket or bucket that will fit but Iāll keep an eye out for one at the thrift store 
Your photos are amazing. Are you using a ārealā camera?

Itās the ease of use for me, too. I can instantly edit and upload. Plus, my camera is probably obsolete now anywayā¦I bought it nearly ten years ago 
Thanks for the kind words on the photos!
Beautiful pictures
