Boone, NC (PRWEB) December 11, 2008 -- Confused about children's photography? Discover how to learn the skills, confidence and inspiration needed to capture authentic photographs that stand the test of time -- to convey the spirit and personality of the child and the beauty of the holiday season.

Expert child photographer Cheryl Machat Dorskind, author of The Art of Photographing Children, reveals tips and secrets to achieve special children's photographs on the "7 Photography Questions" podcast with host Dr. Audri Lanford.
