Photography Tips: Baby's First Birthday Pictures
About a year ago, you were the paparazzi of the household (baby! over here! gimme silly! gimme impish grin!). These days, however, you're more the sometime photo snapper than the everyday chronicler.

If you choose a pro, make sure they have some experience with babies. A photographer who has only done still life photos clearly isn't the right person for this job!
Happy birthday, Baby! Say, "Cheese!"
