Summary: Just you, the baby, your camera and some rolls of film...
Review: Do you love your children? Do you wish to have good pictures of them, without hiring a professional photographer? Without learning about f-stops and ASA?THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. It's easy to read, and fast - no technical words inside - written for sleep deprived fathers and mothers. The book shows how you can shoot the best pictures of your baby without buying anything: simply stated, put the baby next to a window (find the right light), get closer to the subject, and switch the flash off. Inexpensive, isnt'it? Well, there's another hint: shoot more films! (Yes, this is a little bit more expensive, but it's nothing, compared to the price of hiring a professional photographer.) Where's the magic? These simple hints help avoiding all the common mistakes amateurs do. You can find in the book also funny, brilliant ideas, tips and tricks to take pictures that will definitely constitute your family photo-treasure. The author is quite honest saying that most of the pictures in the book were really shot using a professional lighting system; I think there is no hope to get the same superb results at home, but this is not the point. If you need perfect, professional photo of your baby, go to a professional photographer. But if you want get the best picture of the teeny-tiny with your existing equipment, this is the book for you. More over, you are the only person that knows every breath of your baby and you are always next to him/her. A professional photographer owns a expensive equipment and has a lot of technical knowledge, but cannot be next to you everytime and surely nobody loves your baby more than you!

Summary: This book is great!
Review: I bought this book for my sister who is having her first baby. I was looking for a baby gift that was personal and very useful. Being a student of photography myself, I found this book in the photography section. I picked it up to glance through it and was amazed at the quality of the tips and advice in this book. Mr. Kelsh manages to sum up a whole semester of photography in this nicely laid out book. Thanks to him, I have the perfect gift for my sister. I got the book and I am going to buy her a nice simple camera to go with it. I know she will capture some stuuning photos of her baby-to-be with the help of this book.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I bought this book in preparation for the birth of my daughter in Nov, 2001. I had a decent 35mm Minolta but lacked the knowledge or technique to capture really nice pics. I read the book, followed the suggestions and my pictures have improved DRAMATICALY. The photos I take now have been getting many, many compliments. Some people have now asked me if I studied photography. The techniques are simple but incredibly effective, especially the ones about lighting and getting close. If you are new to photography and want to get nice, memorable pictures of your child get this book now.
