 Below are few of her works;

 This is one of her famous photograph. Her work is popular

because of her creativity in doing studio shoot with the babies. Her work is always out of the box. Her photography always used in calendar. People will find her work is easy to shoot and done but I think to shoot in a studio with baby, it is quite difficult because it's hard to handle babies. They don't understand what we want. So usually, we have to wait for them and follow their mood which requires lots of patience.

     

By looking at this photographs, I feel so happy to see this bright faces from the babies. I think taking photos babies is hard but the end result makes us happy too. She really get to captures the right moment of the babies which I can apply to my works that is, always be patience, don't give up. 

 Look at how the lighting that was shown to the babies it was really nice. From her photographs, I learn that, we really have to plan the lightings for the studio first before shooting so we will not waste time in getting the right lightings for the shooting.
