Review – Baby Love

Photography, quotes, poems and babies…!!  What a lovely coffee-table book this turned out to be.

Baby Love: An Affectionate Miscellany

Filled with precious cherubs captured in cute settings and with gorgeous light, Baby love : an affectionate miscellany by Rachael Hale is full of inspiration for new parents and grandparents alike.

Sure does make you want to get your own camera out and try your luck making photos like these of your special little one.  ABC’s Good Morning America recently featured Rachael Hale and Baby Love where Hale offered tips for doing just that!

Well-known for her bestselling animal portraits, Hale’s previous books — which include 101 Salivations, 101 Cataclysms, It’s a Zoo Out There, Smitten, Snog, and Dogs: 101 Adorable Breeds, have sold millions of copies in 11 languages. She has been designated as a Master of Photography at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography Awards

Baby love : an affectionate miscellany by Rachael Hale is published by Andrews McMeel Publishing.

one tiny little glimmer
I saw
as I lay stretched out
on my kitchen floor
back door wide open

arms reaching
onto the porch
elbows both wet and cold
as the wind blew
and still it snowed

held my breath
and the camera
point and shoot
and captured
happy now whatever

When I started this blog in 2006, it was all about checking out different things and checking in here to share them. I was circulating… seeing what I could find to enjoy and share.

I was very intent on learning more about all sorts of social networking and flickr, out of all of them, has become my most favorite community. It is so much more than just photography.

So for now I plan to share with you some of the work that I create or find there.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am.
