Baby Photography 101

Each month I get to photograph a youngster for the cover of Red River Moms. Most of the time it works out well, sometimes not so well as was the case this week.

Amaya Hill who is 4 months-old arrived with mom and was very sweet.............................until we started making photographs. I'm not sure if she woke up on the wrong side of the crib, if she was hungry, if she was tired or maybe she just didn't like my baby talk. Whatever the problem, it quickly stopped each time she got her pacifier in her mouth. The only problem with the pacifier is that it basically covered about a quarter of her cute little face.

It took a while but we finally made a couple of nice shots in between the frowns and faces and everyone got to go home and take a nap.
