Tip 1: Be Vigilant
You never know when your little one will give you that smile you are looking for.
Tip 2: Choose a friendly location
Friendly here means comfortable and adaptable for your baby. Typically, the best location for this would be in-house. However, if you are planning to take pictures outdoors, make the location adaptable. Keeping your babies’ favorite toy or blanket can come handy while taking baby pictures. Also taking your child to a location before the actual time of shoot helps them adjust to the alien environment.
Tip 3: Make the child familiar with the camera before you shoot
Let your child touch the camera while you hold it. (Don’t place it in their hands because it will end up in their mouth.) Hold the camera in front of your face and then jump out and say peek-a-boo.
Ask friends, neighbors, and relatives to take pictures of your child while you stand in the background. This helps your child get used to other people being
Tip 4: Do you have right camera?
Baby photography demands different camera tactics. The equipment should have high shutter speed (to get a picture when you baby is constantly on a move); less reload time and so on.
Digital cameras are preferred as you might have to take a good deal of pictures to get that perfect shot.
Tip 5: Catch the eye
Shoot at the eye level of your child. This makes the image appear more enticing and expressive.
