The record for number of unrestrained (Naked baby) pees in my studio is 8 times during an hour session (though we may have gone over a bit given all the cleanup). I expect pee. I thought you might want to be prepared too.

Party! Coming next month to Janet Klinger Photography, professional wedding and portrait photographers share their favorite products, software techniques, blogs and ideas to keep the creative bar HIGH.

Art Leather will have their quality products on display too.
This party is full to capacity. (Though we’ve held a spot for a few of you have yet to RSVP–Please DO!)
If interested in future gatherings, send a comment to this post and I’ll put you on the mailing/invite list. Please mention your website and any professional affiliations. Hope to see or meet you soon.
Marieke - The one time Alma peed on my feet, I was slightly distraught and kept looking down saying “You peed on my socks. You peed on my socks.” She started to cry. Hopefully this person handled it more elegantly, because pee does happen.
JanetKlinger - Your response is probably more typical. It’s amazing how much stress new moms are under. I know some handle things much more elegantly than I do. I’m beginning to think they are the exception. I’d love to hear from these fab moms to hear a secret or two.

Susie Hamidi - Janet, I find myself at your blog every other day it seems! I love it. And, just love what you capture of moms, babes and families! Truly beautiful. It is NOT easy to photograph these wonderful subjects. It’s a gift!
