"Babies, babies, babies! I can’t seem to get
enough of them! Even when I’m not working and see
them on the street, I want to stop the moms and tell them
that 6 months is the best time to have their baby photographed,
but unfortunately, most would think I’m crazy. I
am a bit, you know…I bark like a dog and crawl around
on my knees with Mr. Puppy attached to my hand like a
crazy entertainer. That way I get the numerous expressions
from the babies and toddlers that the parents (and I!)
want to see. I don’t know what I did to deserve this
wonderful career, but I sure am thankful!
My photography is my life. Even
when I’m away from the
studio, I often have my camera
close by. After 31 years, I’m
still thrilled to get new photos
back from the lab and, now,
to download from my digital
camera for instant gratification.
The next time you’re trying
to take some good photos, shoot
a whole roll, relatively fast,
avoid things in the background
that you don’t want in
the photos and get in close
to your subject. If you’re
outside, have the sun at your
subject’s back and
make the flash go off (“fill”
or “forced” flash).
With those few tips, you should
find a marked improvement in
your photos. Please let me know
how they turn out!
I also want to send out a special
thanks to everyone who has helped me! I could never
do this without you (and your babies!)
Enjoy!"
