Close to 20 years of maternity and family photography: The decisions behind the calendar.

I select the best maternity, family and baby photography of the year to put on my annual calendar.

I have been doing this elaborate selection process for close to 20 years. The process forces me to look at my work and choose the best images. It is difficult because I get attached to images. Often, I have a trusted group of clients and friends who come over to help. We pop open a bottle of wine and project the images large. I like to get as many opinions as possible. Below, I have discussed each calendar and the decisions for the main images. The family images, on either side, are often more challenging to decide upon because I look for diversity, of age, ethnicity, families etc. But the image has to make me feel something, it has to be great.
