For more than 15 years, Stewart has been
capturing images of newborn babies and children in Indianapolis. Many
professional photographers have been inspired by him. Stewart has shared
his techniques, which enable other photographers to create real art as
opposed to just taking pictures. Perhaps this is best seen in his work
with newborns and the reaction of everyone who views his work. By
helping new parents relax with their baby, Stewart is able to capture
special moments that evoke emotion for years to come. As a testimonial
to Ed Stewart Photography, over 5,000 people this year will use his
service to record the special events in their new baby's life.
