Tips To Help You Make Great Baby Photo Cards
Taking a photo of a baby can be a tricky and time consuming business! However
, with the advancement in digital camera technology in recent years this process has been eased since you can now click away until you finally get the perfect baby photos.
Babies tend to be naturals in front of the cameras, they often have great facial expressions and its great to be able to look back in years to come at some great digital photos. Its even better if these great photos can be made into baby photo cards, as they add another dimension and make your baby will look so cute! In addition, baby photo cards are a great keepsake item and can be sent to family and friends.
To help you make the best baby
photo cards we have listed some tips below:
Tip 1 Take Plenty of Pictures
The greater the number of pictures taken, the greater the likelihood of attaining the perfect photo for your baby photo cards. So keep clicking away and eventually you will get the perfect shot.
Tip 2 Find a Partner to Help You
Of course you can always take the pictures yourself but sometimes it is often helpful to have a partner to assist you. They can play Peek a Boo or shake a favourite toy to try and make them smile. Having a partner to help you often makes the process more enjoyable and fun. The burst mode or the sports mode on the digital camera can often be a great help as you can take a number of photos in quick succession to ensure you capture all those perfect baby smiles and cute facial expressions.
Tip 3 Choose the Right Light
To get a great baby photo for your
baby photo cards it is important to capture them in the right light. If you are taking photos outside the best time of day to do this is early in the morning in partial shade or early in the evening. These times of day experience softer light and capture warmer tones, plus you have the added benefit of your baby not squinting to avoid sunlight.
If you are taking pictures inside try to use natural light. Window light is great and diffused lighting provides for a softer feel. Try to avoid taking pictures with the flash. Flash can often wash out colours and babies in particular are sensitive to bright light.
Tip 4 Avoid Distracting Backgrounds and Colour
Place your baby on a neutral rug or against a neutral background to obtain the best baby photos. Avoid bright toys in the shot as these can often detract from the main focus, which is of course your baby. Dress your baby in simple clothes for the same reason as noisy, bright clothes can leave your babys skin tones looking washed out.
Tip 5 - Choose the Right Time
Before you attempt to take the photos for your baby photo cards make sure your baby is well rested and fed to guarantee lots of smiles. Make photographing your baby fun for both of you and try not to set your expectations too high, know when to put the camera away! There will always be another time! When your baby is tired after their photo shoot, its always an idea to use this naptime to get some great shots of your little one sleeping like a baby!
Tip 6 Add Family and Friends
Photos of your baby with someone special create a great story and are great to look back on. Be creative with your photos, they can be tiny fingers against an adults fingers, or pictures of family welcoming the new arrival.
Tip 7 Explore Black and White Photos
Black and White photos are timeless classics. They often add a feeling of fine art and capture features and subtle details which are often missed in colour. Why not take a collage of black and white photos and use them to tell a story by creating your own baby photo cards.
So, what are you waiting for? Start putting these helpful hints to the test today and see if you can capture the Perfect Baby Photo to make great
