I started reading this book late last night & could not put it down. It is full of great information and tips, but was also very entertaining to read. The pictures throughout the book are so inspiring. I am eager for my next portrait session with children. Tamara really captured what is amazing about child photography with this book.

I like the informality of it. It’s got some good ideas although it reads quite a bit like another ‘Children’s Portrait Photography’ book I have also… I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder / or photographer for that matter in how they shoot ‘their’ style. Worth buying.
