babyshowerblogger: Tips on taking baby photos

The photo is cute, isn’t it? You’d probably ask, what are the components of a good baby picture? Well, we must first keep in mind that your subject here is not an adult who easily understands the word “smile.” Babies and younger kids can’t sit still and of course, you just can’t expect them to follow the pose you have in mind-however artistic or simple those poses are. You are dealing with babies so you should be the one adjusting for them. Well, they said babies are naturally cute and adorable so perhaps that helps lessen the effort, but as parents, it is but expected to always capture and show the world the best features of your little one. How do we do that?

There are tips we’d like to share with you to make your photo sessions with your baby fun and fruitful. Our top priority is of course the baby’s comfort. You cannot produce a good photo if your subject is not comfortable anyway.

The basics:

* Make sure he’s been fed and has slept well

* Make sure the space is not cramped for the baby, the bed or couch is soft and clean

* Make sure your baby does not feel hot or cold.

* Everybody in the family must be very excited to take photos of your baby, but keep in mind that the presence of a number people may overwhelm and annoy your baby. They can keep quiet during the shoot or to “calm” your baby, you can play some of his favorite nursery rhymes as background during the shoot.

* If you’re using new clothes, make sure you wash them before your baby wears them. This prevents allergic reaction from dust and other chemicals that come from the clothes’ packaging.

The general rule is to keep your camera close so that you will not miss your baby’s moments.

So let’s start taking photos of your… newborn. Newborn babies tend to be kept swaddled and are always sleeping…

Well, you notice that with newborn babies, the shots are always on supine position or that the babies are lying down face up, but with a soft pillow or blanket on his/her chest as support , you can also try putting your baby on his/her tummy…
