San Francisco, CA -- Babies may have reputations as difficult photography subjects, but a San Francisco-based shutterbug admits they're easier to work with than babelicious fashion models.

Jean Marie Reed says although she loves working with both types of models, the pretty faces of the fashion world are definitely the bigger divas.

She's had plenty of experience with supermodels. Reed modeled in Paris for nine years before she became a fashion photographer whose work has appeared in magazines like "Vogue" and "Elle."

Now, she's being groomed to be the next Anne Geddes by Cedco publishing, which hired her to photograph babies in circus settings for a new line of calendars, journals and baby books.

Reed says she had an amazing cast of baby models for the shoot, including one seven-month-old whom she jokingly calls a "workaholic" because he "smiled all the time and never got tired."

Her "Baby Circus" line is available at bookstores now.
