One screaming, tired and teething baby to shoot.

Grab a teething ring (have a supply of new ones for just the occasion) Pop a white sheet over the arm of a chair and drape the sheet over babies head. Play Beebo for ten mins until crying stops..baby feels safe and comfortable playing under and around the sheet and the teething ring (chilled) has taken his mind off the nasty teething pain that these poor little chaps get.. As an image on its own, there is not enough face showing but this was one of a bunch and it should go down a treat with his parents (fingers crossed!)

Great shot TCO. The white sheet gives him such an angelic look

But what is there to say? If my homegrown efforts ever get close to this then I'll be happy, no, more than happy.
I need to get some of my nephew, what's best mate? Take the kit to them or bring the kid to the kit?

Either mate. Kids are so so different. I have had some play hell up around mine and others complete angels. Again, I have shot at the clients houses and had the same thing. Keep it fun for them and consider the child first, always. If they are tired, give them a break. Try and keep the sessions for babies and toddlers quite short. I'm doing 15-20 mins max for the youngest ones. Up to an hour for older ones.

excellent shot dude. doesnt matter too much for this that the head is partially obscured..you have got the whole picture within the eyes and one hand..says it all. nice work matey

Merv mate, one thing the last few years has taught me but esp the last 2 years is that whatever happens, keep smiling at the baby..babies mimic what they see. if something doesnt work change it quick and keep the momentum going. play hide and seek, make silly noises and fall over.. basically be like TC-Oh (The Casanova Object) on a friday night after the pub LMAO

LOL cheers guys,
it's great that you are so helpful.
I just had a pro in my shop and he was not at all forthcoming, really didn't want to talk about it or give me any advice.
I remember reading somewhere that the best togs are usually the helpful ones...
