What's wrong with a little rock star status for babies? Traditionally infants and crawlers have been propped up on baby blankets, posed in pea pods and cradles, or in the loving arms of their protectors. I like shooting that like the next guy. But, where's the excitement?
Babies are animated sirens of giggles and babble, and it's from these moments we can get our best shots. It takes a bit more effort and patience, but the wait is worth it. The baby above was a bit suspicious at first, what with the fancy light and the big guy with the camera. But working with his father, I was able to find what made him laugh and giggle, and most importantly, shine.
What came from that effort are shots a parent can be proud of. "Look everybody, my kid's a rock star!"
