Valeri Steinkoenig - Thank you for this generous opportunity! I like clean and bright, but I also am drawn to more moody images. I LOVE babies. I always have. Newborns are fun, but I'm really really enjoying sitters that are not quite crawlers. Yesterday at dance class one of the new to the school moms was struggling to feed her lap sitting baby while big sister was in class. I offered to be the highchair. Anything to hold a baby :)

My work includes landscapes, wildlife, and now people. My recent jobs include weddings, birthday and class reunions. All so exciting.

Shannon Burke - My favorite thing to photograph is newborns and cake smashes. I just started photography 6 months ago and it has been a dream come true. My style is somewhat simplistic with little pops of props! I don't like to go over the top with my setups, just enough to personalize it.

vishal mhatre - First of all , I absolutely love your work, it is very inspiring. I am fairly new to professional photography and so far have tried nature shots , baby and pregnancy photographs. Out of which I love baby photography with a vintage touch. Babies are so fragile and amazing, there is nothing complicated about them, innocent features, sparkling eyes, absolutely no makeup, no trying to be awesome, no posing; and the results are always amazing. You can never go wrong with baby photos, they are always super awesome!!

Aug 7, 2016, 10:35:54 AM

Jennifer Gibbons - Other than my daughter, my absolute favorite thing to photograph is one to two year olds. They usually take a bit more time and patience, but I love their eyes, I love their smiles, I love the innocent way they laugh and play while we are in our sessions. It is so rewarding to see those photos at the end of the day!! I always photograph in natural light (because I haven't been able to invest in a studio yet!) so I love the way their skin looks in that soft golden hour glow. Thanks for doing this again!!!

Aug 7, 2016, 10:20:07 AM

Angela Wilson - Maxine, you are too awesome!

My favorite session is a newborn baby girl but a close second is outdoor maternity. My style is still evolving but I know I'm colorful/vibrant, I doubt that will ever change!

Thanks for the opportunity!

Rosanna barr - My style is changing somewhat trying to be more simple and neutral

Aug 7, 2016, 6:13:07 AM

Megan MacLeod - I love photographing newborns! I am not sure I have a style per se. I usually try and custom create the vision the parents tell me at their consult. Sometimes parents give me free reign and my style depends on the weather (I go wih more pastels during spring and winter) and my style is also greatly determined by my favorite vendor at that time. This past winter I went a little neutral crazy because it's what my vendor was crazy about. I hope I win the destash! I would love the opportunity to incorporate some of your gorgeous items!

Aug 7, 2016, 6:09:40 AM

Natasha Lin - My style is very neutral and earthy. I love creamy tones and natural settings. My favorite thing to photograph would have to be babies with their families. Babies are so new to a family whether it be their first born or fifth! It always amazes me how perfectly they fit within their family. The nervous interactions between brand new parents or the way siblings gaze down at their new little love as they hold them is the most beautiful thing. <3

Aug 7, 2016, 5:55:22 AM

Rachel Friedman - My style is still evolving but is a mix of clean and bright, heavy on neutrals with pops of color.
