1: Review of Studio Portrait Photography of Children and Babies by Marilyn Sholin
If you want to make a little money (or a lot), photographing children and babies, don't buy a camera, don't buy lights, don't buy backgrounds. First, buy this book and read it cover to cover.
Ms. Sholin obviously has great experience photographing children of all ages and is also an excellent teacher. In her book she shares with you a step by step approach to this segment of the photographic profession.
While she does deal with cameras, lighting and backgrounds, and the selection of proper equipment, she also deals with the psychology of working with children and even simple and effective techniques of marketing children's portraiture. Also included are tips for selling you portraits.
This is a soup-to-nuts book that thoroughly covers every aspect of the specialty of children's photography. It's a must-have addition to every photographer's library, from amateur with a desire to progress to the seasoned pro.
And don't let the title fool you. With this book, you don't need a studio. The title should be: "Portrait Photography of Children and Babies".

2: Good Choice
This book is an easy read. It tells you all about getting started with a photography business photographing children. It gives tips on using Corel Painter and Photo shop.
|
3: Tips from a pro
This is a book by a pro for other pros. Because Marilyn has had a career photographing children and babies, not just her own children, this is a book for those who are serious about creating portrait art. Marilyn's expertise is best known now in the world of digital painting and Corel Painter specifically, but she owned a successful family studio in Miami many years before venturing into the digital world. A must own for those considering a career in children's portraits.

4: A Must Have for Anyone photographing children
I have Marilyn's first book of the same title and was very excited when I heard a second one was coming out. True to form, she nailed it. The information in this book is paramount to anyone who photographs children either professionally or even for fun! The tips, to me, are the best part of this book, it takes years and years to learn these things and Marilyn is giving them to you, giving you the opportunity to truly become a specialist in this industry, and have a great time doing it!

5: Good Investment of Money and Time
Marilyn Sholin's new book is just wonderful! It is full of really solid information and good honest tips on just about every possible situation. She openly shares her methods and secrets of not only technical information like lighting and strobes, but makes you aware of the psychology of photographing kids. Not all of her shots are big smiles.... some of the children are pensive; some looking ornery and some are even crying...they are real children doing real things. No wonder she is so successful. I love all the great tips that she shares in the book.
She takes you from planning the portrait session, lighting the situation and interacting with the subjects and then polishes it off with sensible good selling guidelines. What a book and what a very good investment of money and time! Theresa Airey
