Baby Love: An Affectionate Miscellany

Celebrate All Things Baby!

It has been said that sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. Nothing tugs at our heartstrings more than the wide (and often toothless) smile of a baby. Award-winning photographer Rachael Hale focuses her lens on her newest subjects creating a sweet and adorable collection entitled, Baby Love: An Affectionate Miscellany (Andrews McMeel Publishing LLC, $24.99).

Focusing on ‘real' images that any mother, father, or grandparent can appreciate, Hale manages to photograph more than just expression. Whether splashing in a bubble bath or napping atop a fuzzy teddy bear, Hale captures the inner soul of each little one.

Offering over 100 brilliant four-color portraits accompanied by poetic verses, historic data, and surprising facts, readers can learn where birthdays began and how they are celebrated in different countries. Baby Love: An Affectionate Miscellany also includes an indispensable baby names list for fickle moms and dads-to-be. This beautiful book makes the perfect gift for anyone expecting an addition to their family.
