Sneak Preview

A good friend of mine asked me if I would take some photos of her little girl. OF COURSE I jumped on the opportunity. I'm still a learning photographer and there is SO much to learn so I like any chance to practice - and boy, I tell ya... the hardest photography I've done so far is with babies. Though it's nearly impossible to make kids this cute look bad, I struggle with making my photos unique and any different than someone else's baby photography but you can really only do what the baby will do...

Also - do you have tips on how to get these kiddos to smile? This is generally an overwhelmingly smiley babe but today she just wasn't too sure about me. She definitely made it clear to me that she was not havin' the camera.

We created quite a scene with the many adult who were hooting and cooing and dancing and shaking maracas (true story).... We managed to squeak a few smiles out of her by the night's end... But if you'd like to share some baby photo taking tricks - I'd be more than happy to hear!

More baby photos to come - but I like mama to see the batch before I make the rest of them public.
