Summary: I did it! You can too!
Review: My mother-in-law bought me this book. Now, I have to buy it for everyone I own, just so that I can get my own copy back!I read it in half an hour and I reread it frequently. My pictures have never been better. I now use 800 film, natural light, no flash and I take a whole roll. Some of my photos are tear jerkers! This book is a must own for anyone who owns a camera. You don't even need a baby - borrow one.

Summary: A must for parents!
Review: Perhaps I was too anxious to improve my photography skills. I bought two of Nick Kelsh's books - this one and photographing family. Both have many similarities. Easy to read, some greats ideas, but skimpy on details. As a first photography book, it has value. I found the Family book more useful.

Review: There are wonderful suggestions in this book. I wish I had bought it when my son was younger and would sit still to be photographed. Its simple and the chapters are arranged so as to be projects that one can easily try on their own.

Summary: Read this and take WAY better pics of your baby.
Review: This book describes a few simple tips for taking better pictures of your baby--with a REGULAR camera--nothing fancy. He explains a technique and then shows a couple of pictures to illustrate the point (dramatically). I always thought I was bad at taking photographs, but the very first roll I shot after reading this book (which takes just an hour or two) was really really great!! Buy this book before your baby grows up anymore!

Summary: Simple yet revolutionary concepts
Review: This book has a few simple concepts that are sure to revolutionize the way you take pictures (as well as the way you look at people). What could be simpler than the tips found in this book? We can all get closer, turn off the flash, and take a lot of pictures (a few rolls at a time). And yet, with just these basic tips, Nick Kelsh assures us that we will begin to take photos that will be treasured as instant classics. Kelsh's tone is encouraging, conversational, and assuring. He is part-professional, part-everyphotographer. He is equally comfortable with portrait photography and snapshots. He avoids technical jargon and sticks with phrases we all like to imagine in connection with our own photos: "the envy of all your friends," "compliments on your photos," "people will ask you to photograph their children," and so on. Oh, and the principles within this book extend to photos taken of anyone, not just baby. (In fact, I read Kelsh's book about taking pictures of family, and I prefer this book). The book is a quick read, and has stunning photos by professionals and amateurs alike. You'll love your first reading of it, and I bet it will become a favorite over time. I'm tempted to buy several copies to give to friends. So don't wait -- get it, read it, and start taking pictures of your loved ones!

Summary: Changing the way you capture your baby will change your life
Review: This book has inspired me to take beautiful photos of my baby when I never thought that I was capable of anything this artistic. I highly reccommend this book- it is fun and easy (and quick) to read, and has many practical applications. Don't miss this opportunity to remember your baby for the rest of your life!

Summary: too basic
Review: This book is good for the beginner, not the intermediate photographer. I didn't find the book useful & returned it.

Summary: extremely basic but still good
Review: This is a book for beginners who haven't given a serious thought to photography and probably don't want to. There's many good tips and I appreciate the non-tech language but I was looking for that little bit extra eg what sort of filter Nick would recommend to use when taking black and white photos. However I still gave it 5 stars because it was stated that this was a book about the basics.
