My name is Season Moore, and I’m a contemporary children’s photographer in Raleigh, NC. I am also a wife and the mom of two young kids. I love what I do, and I’m glad to have the chance to share a little bit of that with you as a new contributor to Photojojo Uncut.

But I’m not here to get into the nitty-gritty basics of photography — I’ll be focusing on topics of interest to the moms and dads out there in PhotojojoLand. I’ll give you some behind-the-scenes info on my own work (OK, so there might be a little nitty-gritty talk) and share my tips for working with babies and kids, and I’ll also introduce you to some of my favorite photographers.

The photo above, taken with a Nikon D200, was the final shot from my latest session. I’m a natural-light photographer, so every indoor image is taken using light from a nearby window. In this case we were directly facing a set of windows about five feet away. At nearly two weeks old, this little guy was one of my older newborns. The younger infants – most of my newborn subjects are less than a week old – are sleepier, and you can move into position without disturbing them. As they days go by they get more alert, and it’s harder to get that precious scrunched-up newborn look.

Now, as much as I like to talk – just ask my husband! – I may run out of things to say. So I need to hear from you! Drop in to the Photojojo Forums with specific questions you might have, products you’d like to share or topics you’d like to discuss. If you see a particular photo on my site that you’d like more information on, please let me know. I’d also love to see your photos and the fun things you’ve done with them. So please share!
