Sleeping Beauties: Newborns In Dreamland Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Look for Tracy and Kelly on The Today Show, April 8th, 2010 in the eight o'clock hour. PEOPLE Magazine is reviewing Sleeping Beauties in their April 16th issue, on sale April 8th and 9th. Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden's photographs of babies at rest, nestled in soft surroundings, are pure magic. After airing on the Today Show in September 2009, the photographer's portraits of sleeping babies caused a national sensation - people cannot get enough of these slumbering babes! In Sleeping Beauties: Newborns in Dreamland, their lens has captured newborns as they inhabit that magical place - a world where past and future dreams come together in an ethereal realm. In most instances, the babies portrayed are brand new and on their way home for the very first time. It is in this state of newness, of transition from their warm cocoon of the past nine months to their journey of a new life, that they capture the newborns as they slumber, dream, and awaken to their new surroundings.

What book could be better for Mother's Day, baby showers, or anyone who loves babies? These portraits are a unique look at snoozing angels - the kind of faces you only see on those just arrived in the world. Complemented by inspiring and thoughtful quotes about the joys and wonder of children, this is one of the best gift books I've seen in a long time.
While literally thousands of photographers attempt to make a career of photographing babies, only a small percentage have the combined talent and skills needed to style, light, and capture just the right moment. Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden are clearly two creative photographers who have not only mastered natural light photography but also the difficult task of photographing newborns.Although each image is carefully styled, the babies look very relaxed and natural. The simple, tasteful design of the book draws you into the loveliness of each and every one. The quotes are poignant and not at all overused. As a professional photographer and designer, I was truly inspired and will admire the images again and again for their purity, creativity, and beauty.
This is a great book, perfect for first time parents and for anyone that likes baby pictures which are really great and for sayings pertaining to babies and parents. I love this book!!!
I knew this was going to be beautiful, but it even EXCEEDED my espectations! These babies are all so very beautiful. They are truly Sleeping Beauties. Also, there are little sayings written by famous people. I am so happy I got this. I plan on buying every year, now!
I collect lifelike Babydolls and I love photography. I have Anne Geddes and her work, I admire Anne Geddes and I purchased a lot of her books and items, including her baby fashions. Anne Geddes will always be Number 1, but I have to say " Sleeping Beauties" is a very good book.
This is a lovely coffee table book, filled with photos of adorable babies along with various quotes from notables concerning the beauty and innocence of babies.Of course the poses are contrived, most portraits are. Each page will have you saying "aaaaahhh, that's my favorite" until you turn the page and amend your statement to "no, this one is my favorite". It is the perfect gift for the new mom or mother-to-be. I've purchased three copies and am now back for more. For $20, you can't go wrong with this gift.
This large format coffee-table sizes book includes more than 50 images of adorable, sleeping newborn babies photographed by accomplished professionals Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden. The images feature a variety of props and hats and wraps and will no doubt be the inspiration for many others who aspire to be newborn photographers.The portraits celebrate the perfection and peacefulness of a sleeping infant, a phase which is all too short. In fact, most newborn photographers strive to capture the babies in their first 10 days of life. The images are interspersed with pages including lovely quotes about infancy, such as "When you have children yourself, you begin to understand what you owe your parents." - Japanese ProverbThe book is a visual treat, and with each turn of the pages you will be saying "aww" or "this is my favorite one". In fact, it would be impossible to choose a favorite - they're all so stunning !
Great book! Saw an interview on Today with the photographers and it looked great. My daughter-in-law is expecting a baby soon, and I KNEW the book is what I wanted to give my son and daughter-in-law as a baby gift. Other grandma gifts will come after little grandson arrives.Really lovely pix with heart warming quotes on the facing page. Some made me cry.If you are a mother or father, this is a must have!
