I was just thinking that I'd love to photograph a red-haired baby when this beautiful 6-month-old munchkin's mom called me. Hooray! Their house is currently being renovated, so we decided to shoot at my home. I think that with babies, it's especially nice to begin a shoot indoors in softer light, away from the elements. It makes for lovely, intimate portraits.

I'm limited in my outdoor shooting space now, thanks to our monstrous pool fence, but we made do just fine. And despite a serious teething spell (see drool below), this guy is as good-natured as they come.
