About the Author
American photographer Jean Marie Reed came to her new-found role in the wonderful world of baby photography with great zeal and enthusiasm, in large measure because of her connection with and love of children. As a fashion photographer for the last eight years under her initials, J.M. Reed, she has worked internationally for such publications as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Elle. She has been sought after to photograph notable film stars, Olympic athletes and politicians.
Jean Marie began her journey in the fashion industry working for nine years in front of the camera, based in Paris. From those early experiences, she was able to develop a uniquely empathic and nurturing approach to conducting her photo sessions, which has now translated into stunning results both in the images she creates as well as the pleasurable and fun environment on the sets.
The conceptualization and creation of Baby Circus has been an exciting and rewarding experience for Jean Marie. She has enjoyed every moment spent with the babies. "Each child is truly special, beautiful and unique," reflects Jean Maria. "The journey has been one of great faith, imagination and love. It has been a rare gift indeed."
