Any good books on photographing babies/kids?

[dmdiaz]

Hello All,

My wife is about 4 months pregnant. We're pretty excited about it since it's our first. I'm really interested in finding some good books (or other resources-websites, etc.) on photographing babies/kids. I'm not too great at portraits, but the way I figure, this is a great way to practice! If anyone out there has any recommendations, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks,

David

Hey David,

I have "Photographing Children And Babies: How To Take Great Pictures" by Michal Heron, and it is an excellent book. I highly recommend it.

check out www.ilovephotography.com Lots of info.

Thing is, with kids, it's hard to get what you need from a book. Every kid is different. What I'd suggest is spending an evening at Barnes and Noble or Borders, and just go thru a couple of the books they have there. You'll get an idea of what you like, and they have lots of useful tips.

I like this link Adina!

So I added it to my favorites.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info. After looking around at the bookstore, I did see the book that Speed mentioned before I posted, and I really liked it. Now that it's been recommended, I'll go pick it up. I also checked out the ILP website, and I've bookmarked it.

Thanks!

David
