Thanks! Loooooove your photography!!
Thank you so much Rebecca!
I LOOOOVE this new book of yours! I picked it up at WPPI this year and am still drooling over all the fantastic content (and gorgeous pictures, of course). Quick question, though… in several places, Appendix A is referenced, but it seems like the Appendix A might NOT be included in the book? Am I missing something?
WOW…I love this book. Not only is the photography stunning, but the content of the book is exactly what I was looking for. As an avid youth sports photographer, I love kids. This book focuses on the techniques of shooting kids. The lighting examples, real-world photo shoots with kids, tips, style, just love it Allison. It’s my inspiration to move forward into this area of photography more, and to practice more in studio. And, above all, simply adorable kids. Can’t wait for the DVD coming out, and vol. #2…right??
Thanks,
Alan
Thank you Michelle and Alan! So glad you are enjoying the book! Michelle–I will have Peachpit get back with you on the “Appendix A” issue;)!
Hi Allison! Thank you for writing this book. I’m only on page 14 and i can’t read it fast enough. I am at a crossroads in my business and your words are “speaking to me”. ❤️ I love the part about never putting your camera away until the client leaves. I recently had a similar experience and that last shot – dressed up ready to go as the child’s “real” self is the image they chose and the one on my website. Thank you for the reminder. I’m SO excited to keep reading. Wishing you continued success in all you do.
Thank you so much Liz for taking time to write such kind words. I’m so glad you are finding the book helpful!
