Will you look at that? Wee Zoe Mae has a passport! And how about that photo? The US Dept of State is very explicit about how passport photos must be taken... Right down to the exact mm measurements of head in the frame, white nondescript background in soft focus, no shadows, and eyes open. Which is all well and good, but damn difficult when shooting a baby that's less than 2-weeks old!
We took over 300 shots, on various backgrounds, and with different light, all trying to get a good straightforward shot of Zoe, with her eyes open, and that meets the criteria. Finally we nabbed the above photo with Zoe laying on one of Tommy's white t-shirts on the little table on our back porch, in the afternoon sunlight. After all, passport photos aren't meant to be sexy, right?
Looks like she is ready to travel to Bahrain for a visit. Wait a couple months as we are already in the 120's UM & AP
