What book could be better for Mother’s Day, baby showers, or anyone who loves babies? These portraits are a unique look at snoozing angels – the kind of faces you only see on those just arrived in the world. Complemented by inspiring and thoughtful quotes about the joys and wonder of children, this is one of the best gift books I’ve seen in a long time.

While literally thousands of photographers attempt to make a career of photographing babies, only a small percentage have the combined talent and skills needed to style, light, and capture just the right moment. Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden are clearly two creative photographers who have not only mastered natural light photography but also the difficult task of photographing newborns.
Although each image is carefully styled, the babies look very relaxed and natural. The simple, tasteful design of the book draws you into the loveliness of each and every one. The quotes are poignant and not at all overused. As a professional photographer and designer, I was truly inspired and will admire the images again and again for their purity, creativity, and beauty.

This is the most beautiful book. The photographs are sensitive and a must for parents. Wish these girls had been around when my children were born. All of the quotes are so perfectly chosen. They are inspiring for anyone. Love this book.

This is a lovely coffee table book, filled with photos of adorable babies along with various quotes from notables concerning the beauty and innocence of babies.
Of course the poses are contrived, most portraits are. Each page will have you saying “aaaaahhh, that’s my favorite” until you turn the page and amend your statement to “no, this one is my favorite”. It is the perfect gift for the new mom or mother-to-be. I’ve purchased three copies and am now back for more. For $20, you can’t go wrong with this gift.

This book is filled with amazing images that are artistic and beautiful. My wife and I bought this book as a gift for an expecting mom and she loved it! I wish I would have gotten images like this of my daughter when she was little.
