Your Baby in Pictures by Me Ra Koh, $20. Available at Random House Canada
As any new parent knows, a camera must always be on hand to capture every precious moment of baby’s life, each photo documenting a first, an instant, a memory.
When you look back on your own photos, what do you see -- hasty shots, blurry images, missed opportunities? In Your Baby in Pictures, mom and photographer Me Ra Koh guides new parents through the baby steps of capturing the picture-perfect moments of baby’s first year.
Your Baby in Pictures is not lightweight reading. Koh delves into the nitty-gritty of photography to get parents set up right from the start. Sure, she writes about how to choose a camera, mistakes to avoid and tips to getting the best shot, but she also goes through each of those “firsts” (first breath, tummy time, sitting up, standing, etc...) and explains when to take them, how to prep for the shot, what type of settings to use for both point and shoot and DSLR cameras, how to compose the shot and where to focus.
Your Baby in Pictures makes a wonderful gift for the shutterbug or any new parent who wants to capture every moment of baby’s life with the deft hand of a professional.
