Moving from behind the computer to in front of the camera.

Here is my first attempt at using my vision for baby photography. James has told me many times he would rather just stand behind the camera and let me do the baby posing but I've always let something hold me back. Capturing the tenderness and emotion of the bond between mom and baby has prompted me to study and find out as much as I can about baby posing, lighting and photographs from the best baby photographers around. Seeing their vision and realizing "yes, this is what I want to do!" has encouraged me to step into James' world. I was quick to find out that what I see in my head is not always easily transferred to what comes out through the camera. With practice and much patience from moms, I hope my posing ideas will become second nature and what I want to capture is transferred into great images. I know this will take time to learn and of course lots of babies to practice on.
