  Hi Michelle,

I have a great suggestion for a book by one of our Betterphoto.com instructors: Vik Orenstein. Vik teaches our online photography course, Photographing Children:

http://www.betterphoto.com/photocourses/VIK01.php

She has a fantastic book, Creative Techniques for Photographing Children (29.95). While this book does not specifically give instruction on photographing babies, there is a section dedicated to that subject.

Her book is currently out of print and our BetterPhoto store shows that we are out of stock. However, I was organizing the bookstore over the weekend and found one last copy of her book. If you are interested, you can purchase this autographed copy by phoning our orders dept.:
I am available at 1-888-586-7337 from 9am-4pm Pacific Time, Monday through Friday.

Thanks,
Heather Young

HI Michelle ,
I ALSO HAVE A BOOK OUT YOU CAN SEE IT ON MY GALLERY- BUT YOU DON'T NEED A LOT OF PROPS ,AT THIS AGE MOST ARE DANGEROUS.
YOU CAN USE A SMALL WOODEN OR BRASS DOLL CRIB. WHEN YOU POSE THIS BABY MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT A SMALL PILLOW OR TOWEL BEHIND ,SO AS TO PROTECT THE HEAD-YOU WANT THIS BABY SITTING UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE(USE TOWEL OR BLANKETS FOR THE SIDES AS WELL)THEN ADD SOME STUFFED TOYS MY GALLERY IS NOT FULL AS OF YET BUT I HAVE A FEW KIDS ON IT-I WILL WORK ON IT THIS WEEK-AFTER THE FIRST RELEASE OF MY 4TH BOOK(THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER) HAS SHIPPED.
MY BOOK ON CHILDRENS POSING GO THROUGH THE SEVEN PHOTOGRAPHIC STAGES OF CHILDREN(ON CD WITH PORTRAITS OF ALL)
BUT HERE ARE A FEW.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
