Babies are mercurial creatures. I love the range of expressions their faces produce. I've found that the secret to a good baby shoot is to just embrace what they want to do: sleep, cry, stare suspiciously, or laugh. I work in Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Bodega Bay, Healdsburg, Windsor, and all parts of Sonoma County, Marin, San Francisco and the East Bay, CA California.
