(Best wishes to Kelley on the upcoming birth of her newest model!)

Raver & Ryden Sisters Tracy Raver & Kelley Ryden sign their beautiful book of photography, Sleeping Beauties: Newborns in Dreamland.

These glorious photos of babies at rest, nestled in soft surroundings, are pure magic. After airing on the Today Show in September 2009, Tracy’s portraits of sleeping babies caused a national sensation –– people cannot get enough of these slumbering babes! In this book, Raver’s 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, 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 she captures them as they slumber, dream, and awaken to their new surroundings.

Tracy’s photography focuses on using natural light, and many of the wraps, hats, and slings utilized in her work are original creations by Tracy and she spends countless hours combing through antique and craft stores looking for the perfect item to use in her next photograph.
