Advice wanted for Baby portraits
Thank you Emma for your advice, I totally agree, I have photographed a few children now, and I just let them get on with it, I think the younger they are, the less of a range of expressions they have. hopefully I will get the chance to do some soon. Thanks to all of you for your help, I often come back and read through all the good advice on here. cheers.
