How to Take Great Photos of Your Child

Children are naturally photogenic. I've worked in studios and children are so easy to photograph. What I hear from parents is that they don't think that their kids are that easy to photograph. This is only because they don't know some basic tips.

1. Young children especially infants take beautiful photos while they are asleep. Keep the light natural avoid flash if at all possible. Keep the image tight on the child and crop out distractions. For infants when they're awake you're better off having another person in image, it gives the child someone to interact with and you can crop the shot to keep the other person out of the image or you can keep the adult and child in the photo.

7 Things You Must Do If You Want To Make That Perfect Camera Shot

These tips should help you relive those moments back where you've said "if only I had a camera." Now you will have it captured on film. These tips should help you to be camera ready.

1. Get as close as you can to the subject or action

Remember, if you're using a instant camera 

a lot of them have a minimum shooting 

distance. This is usually about two metres.

If your closer than that, your shots will be 

out of focus.

Try to take shots with the viewer 

focused on the subject. Meaning the closer to the 

subject filling the viewer the better.

Nature is all around us, and its beauties are unlimited. In this fast-paced world of mocha-lattes and traffic jams at rush hour, too many of us take the beauty of nature for granted.
