It's not a secret that my specialty is not newborn babies. It's not that I don't like photographing the sweet tiny things, but it's more that I'm slightly disenchanted with the style of baby photography that is really popular right now. I'm not trying to ruffle feathers here - just personally, I love creating images with meaning and personalization, and most of the props and poses that I see for little ones' portraits leave me wondering, "What is the significance of that?" Anyway, when my sister had her baby girl, I asked if I could come into her home and create some images that I thought would fit the "meaning" and "significance" bills. I was very pleased with the result, and am now determined to carry this experiment further. All I need now is some more babies… Sisters? (ha ha ha!)
