I have a lot more shots demonstrating lighting and will continue to post examples as I learn more…but for today I thought I would put this shot of Zane in….Yesterday I took pictures of Zane, his mom Harmony and his dad Matt….We spent about two hours and I took 550 pictures trying to get just one where Zane was smiling. Unfortunately Zane was not happy with the shoot and even though we started in the studio, moved outside, went to the park and finally gave up and came home, he was not in the mood to smile…then at home Matt suggested getting the pumpkin for Zane to play with…all of a sudden this cute boy was having FUN and I got this shot.

Taking pictures of babies and toddlers is much more challenging than I ever understood…but the result when they finally smile is totally worth it!

I agree taking pictures of babies and toddlers is very difficult. But have got this very nicely.
I liked the color composition. Perfect picture for a Halloween card :)

You definitely caught that moment. I like that you tilted, it gives motion more space, accentuates it. Thanks for sharing...your patience is admirable! :)

Hi Roger,
Not only Zane is very smiling here, but he puts a large smile in my face, too!
I agree with you, baby's photo is a long way of patience!
I like his priceless expression and the tilted pose.
Bravo! Annie

Hi Roger,

Hi Roger,

Motivation, motivation, motivation, that's the key with children. This shot certainly brings a smile to one's face. I recently took some shots of my grand niece and appreciate the challenges you faced. The drool adds a lot to his joyful look! TFS.

Best regards,
Werner
