WAS: That's pretty much every other post on this forum - you could try searching yourself.
IS: There are a lot of baby photos and infant shots in this forum. Looking back, I found 10-15 posts in the past 5 pages which include children/infant shots.
... I guess we do have a "Live Band Photography" thread... why not a baby thread?
Just so you know, I did a search before posting this, but didn't come up with a compilation of great photos/photographers, so I thought it might be nice to have a creme de la creme type thread.
I'd read that dgrin was immune to the cliquey, snooty type posts of other photography boards--they were obviously wrong! I won't bother you again. Sorry to have offended you with my request!
Sorry you got a wrong impression of the folks here on the forum. If you had explained that you had searched unsuccessfully, someone would surely come along and help!! I am not aware of a "list" of great baby photogs going around, but I have a couple of sites that I discovered recently and was thinking of posting a thread on, so this thread comes a long at a good time. I'm at work right now and don't remember the sites, so I will post them later when I get home. We do have some members who are great baby/children photographers on this forum. I can suggest you do a "search" for Photogmamma, Urbanaries, Photocat and Primedigital to name a few. Very different styles and I think you will enjoy their photography. I don't do baby photography specifically but here are a couple shots of my favorite little person in the world, my great nephew.
Welcome to the forum!!!
Thanks Lynn! I love your maternity shots...I have seen the 2nd shot but this one in color is new to me....it's beautiful!
As promised I wanted to post 2 new sites I ran across that specialize in maternity/newborn/children/teens. I have been checking out websites for portraiture mainly, and ran across these. Of the 2 my favorite is Corey Civetta's site. I really like her website and I really love her photography. A great site for gathering ideas about lighting. There are a lot more examples of her work than the other site.
Hmmm, a baby thread?
Just so happens that becoming a grandparent changes the stuff you read........like baby threads and the other day my wife is reading "Child" magazine.....what is this world coming to? So, it's only appropriate to post a shot of the coolest kid on the planet:
Thanks, all...this session was definitely my favorite indoor yet. I can't take total credit though, when I saw this client's bedroom, I was reminded of an image by the photographer who is credited with bringing maternity photography into the mainstream...Jennifer Loomis. I went a different direction, but wanted to illustrate the (obvious) inspiration.
Thanks everyone. Owen and I pmed and I just got the wrong impression from his post. I look forward to seeing more photos--thanks everyone who has shared so far! Jennifer Loomis's photo is stunning!
Elaine--I have a really similar shot of my son's feet! He will be a year next week and I should do a retake of this photo with his now huge hobbit-like feet!
George--your grandson's Stewie is spot on! My husband just saw it and says it's now his favorite photo of all time. I think you should sell calendars with it!
incredible. amazing lighting, awesome pose. this picture gives me this amazing feeling inside. my jaw dropped when i first looked at it. i don't know how else to describe it.

wow, thanks binghott, i can't say i've received a more heartfelt and humbling compliment. i see all sorts of imperfections (the CA, the bottom of the fabric i just want to STRAIGHTEN) but ultimately, making people feel something is what it's all about...thanks for the signal i'm on the right track.
this was shot with a clamp light from Lowe's with a clear 200w tungsten bulb through a brollybox.
Ironically, I shot this family with their new addition earlier today. Will post soon.
I don't have any shots to share, but if you just want to take a look at other's work, a few good choices are:
www.irocp.com (International Registry of Children's Photography) - take a look at the featured photographer's sites and/or member sites
www.ilovephotography.com another forum that specializes in children's photography, very fast-moving site with tons of members, especially in the jso forum
A search on smugmug for maternity or newborn will bring up several albums with some nice photos/sites
Couple photographer sites I've looked at with great newborn/maternity shots:

Ok the grandbaby.
One of the few examples I have seen where selective coloring is effective and adds something to the image... bravo!

Sigh. What's eating you Owen?
