Baby Photography

"There's a baby in our house..."

Cute New Baby=Endless Photo Opportunities

Here are some tips I've learned over the last couple of weeks:

1. As much as possible try to avoid using the flash (unless you have an exterior flash that you can bounce off of another object) use natural light instead.

2. Try Black and White, it's more forgiving, and adds such a gentle touch.

3. Try Photographing them in a car-seat or stroller so they are in an upright position.

4. Be ready to catch those ever-changing expressions.






6. Use colorful blankets as backdrops.

7. Get Close.

8. Be Creative. A baby's face is not the only subject worth noticing.


8. Someone holding the baby? Great, even better.


9. Remember, they don't have to be awake.

10. Think, Contrast. Cute outfits do help. :)


Now go find a cute baby...sorry this one's already taken. :)
