5 Tips for perfect photos of your child

Our children grow so quick and we want to remember each moment of their life. Fortunately these days we all have mobile phones and each mum can make awesome photos of her lovely little one. As a professional photographer I will reveal to you a few ideas how to make the photos of your child look great even if you use just a phone and no special set ups are needed. These easy tips will help those who are just starting their photography career as well.

First and foremost take care of the light. The photos which are made outside will look much better than those which are made inside. But if you want to make photos at home make sure that the artificial light is turned off and the curtains are opened. The closer your child will stand to the window, the better the photos will be.

The best shots will be made if you sit down at the same level as your child. Try different angles, come closer to your little one and make portrait photos as well. We all love these portrait photos and in time they will be the most valued as they will show how your child was changing and growing up.

Photographers usually pay lots of attention to the area where the photos are made. Search for a place where there will be no distractions, an open field will be better than a crowded street. If you are making photos at home just take care of the background by a little tiding up. Remember your child is the main object.

Take lots of shots! You will be shocked but during one hour the professional photographer takes around 300 photos and a maximum 10 of them look wow.

Emotions do matter and only you know how to make your child smile. Does he/she like funny noises, maybe a song will make him smile or what if you propose some sweets in the end? The photo of a smiling happy kid looking into the camera will warm up anyone’s heart.

Hope these easy tips will help you to make your photos stand out. Though you should remember that no phone can compete with a camera, and professional photographers study each day to make the photos look great no matter what. Contact me if you want your family photos to rock!
