Baby Photography

As most photographers know, baby photography is one of the easiest ways to crack into the professional market. Every parent wants beautiful photos of ther child and this is one of the few areas where they will pay to get them. The photo above is of my newest model, my grandaughter Faith, pictured at 4 weeks. While she obviously doesn't know it yet this was the first of many, many photoshoots to come.

Her mom was dying to get some shots off so I quickly set up a 3 point lighting scheme and began snapping away. As you can imagine she wasn't a co-operative model but I did capture a few images that are definitely portfolio worthy. Enough so that after posting online I have received a few emails from parents asking about my services.

After about 1/2 hour Faith had had enough and it was impossible to keep her awake any longer. I had one more idea before this shoot was over. Her faithful companion Dakota was brought onto the set and even though she was a bit apprehensive she did her part and I got the lovely photo at left of the two of them together.

It was all over quicker than I liked but as I mentioned before, there will be many more photoshoots to come in the future.
