Hello everyone! Thank you so much for checking back today for our video tutorial series on taking better pictures of your kids. Unfortunately, I have a house-full of sick kids and need to postpone the video until tomorrow. In the meantime, here are a few tips to work on at home!
- Get Closer – Details are worth remembering and can help make your photographs more interesting. Don’t be afraid to cut off part of the subject to get the shot.
- Change the angle – If you are used to only taking pictures from the same angle, switch it up. Try taking some shots from your child’s perspective.
- Get Some Action Shots – Have your child jump in the air or twirl around and see what you can capture.
- Capture the mood – If your child is taking a time-out, grab the camera and snap a picture of that pout. One of my favorite pictures of my oldest is of her standing in the corner! It is just so darn cute!
- Try some black and white – Most cameras give this option if you look for it in your menu options.
- Set up a “window studio” – Position your kids so the light is going across their face at a 45 degree angle and see what you can get. In the afternoon, the light is much softer.
- Be sneaky – Don’t let your kids know you are taking some pictures of them. There is something about a camera that makes kids act different.
Sorry again for no video! Check back tomorrow for some before and after fixes!
