Something I had a play with today being I had nothing better to do.
Though I would experiment with this doll. Tried to get some of my grandbaby but she wouldn't sit still for me. lol

Gail, that is a nice concept. It would be great with a real baby.

Thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking, ha just if i could get my grand baby to sit still long enough. I will just keep working with her till i get one I'm satisfied with.

gail-babies sit still? ;)

i think capturing babies in action are more real to the subject. photolife magazine had an article in last month issue on shooting kids.

i'm not a baby photographer but lots of babies in my family (i have one myself but he's 11) and i noticed that kids sit like zombies if you turn on the television. just a thought.

NOT, around here she's on the go all the time. ... lol guess she's excited to come to grandma's house. I even done as much as telling her to look there's a bug on the end of my camera lens, lol . And she will look just for a second and go right back at it.

I told her today guess I'm going to haven't to tie her down. Now if it were someone else photographing her she would probably sit still for them. Them being strange to her. I just seen that shot and thought it was cute and wanted one of her posing like that.

A Friend of mine had done a shot like that of a little girl and I thought it was so darling. I guess I will haven't to get her to come over and shoot her for me.

here's the one that my friend did.
