My new favorite baby shower gift!
By TeacherAmy
I discovered Me Ra Koh a few years ago when I ordered her DVDs “Refuse to Say Cheese” and “Beyond the Green Box”. I found that I loved her warm, informal style and was greatly encouraged to re-learn what I’d known about real photography.

How wonderful to find that her book has the same Me Ra character–a friendly, down-to-earth friend who comes alongside you and shows you what she’s doing with her camera to capture a certain sense. I grieve over the fact that I didn’t have this knowledge when my own babies were new & squishy, since I was in such a sleep-deprived exhaustion that these “photo recipes” were what I needed Me Ra provides clear explanations and cuts right through technical confusion to open up a whole new world of photographing memories. She explains why it is she’s doing what she’s doing, which creates continual “a-ha” moments that make learning a new hobby so approachable. What sets this apart from any other book out there is the loving treatment of all those unique baby moments from someone who has obviously been there and cherished them: the fleeting hair swirl, baby feet, the love pats while feeding, inked-up baby feet at the hospital, .

Babyhood, much to my sorrow, is all too fleeting, and I only wish I’d had this book sooner so that I could have had this knowledge while my own were still in the newborn phase. Without question, I am giving this as my favorite New Baby Gift.

If you own a camera you need this book
By Theresa Lafrance
Love this book. Anyone who has a baby in there life needs to have a copy of this book. It is clear, concise and inspiring. The “recipes” are easy to understand and the results are beautiful. This is a must have and would also make a great gift.

Great for new parents!
By t gilbertson
This is a great book for any new parent out there–the helpful information about how to take a photograph, how to use your camera as well as capture the moment is great. As a new mommy and a photographer also, I was encouraged to see my baby with new eyes all over again! Thank you MeRa for the great book!

MeRa is fabulous throughout the book and in person–you won’t be disappointed!
