Babies are precious - but that precious babyhood phase only lasts a short time. In the blink of an eye they're asking for the keys to the car and demanding money for gas (while refusing to tell you where they were the night before). Oh the joys of parenthood. Pretty soon, the only evidence we have of the angel our child once was is the baby photographs from the past.

Fortunately, we've got a expert who is willing to share her secrets of baby photography with you. Carrie Sandoval, a professional baby photographer who has managed to capture the essence of innocence in her work, shares some professional baby photography tips and insider secrets as she answers the top 7 questions of baby photography.
