Dinner time baby

Mealtime can be a great time to get some good pictures of babies and children. Watching little ones eat is good fun, and offers the opportunity for some really funny shots – you can watch them getting really messy (perfect photos to embarrass them as a teenager or at their wedding), plus, in general, they are tied to one spot, making the whole process easier for the photographer. If lined up carefully, you can get a set of action shots that work well as a series, and could make a good card or framed as a group – perfect for the kitchen wall – in amongst the spaghetti.

I often take pictures of the Bee at dinnertime – she shows such enjoyment of her food, and a wide range of emotions can pass across her features in a very short space of time. Below are four of my favourites from a shoot I did of her eating spaghetti for the first time at nine months. You can see the full set on my Flickr, here.
