The world of a baby is a miraculous thing. Every day brings a new discovery and a new development. In order to catch those moments in your baby photos, you are going to need change your approach.
One of the best ways to enter baby’s world is to get down to their level. Babies spend a lot of time on the floor in the first months, so you should to. This will give you a chance to take baby photos from their viewpoint. It will help you learn what enthralls or scares them which will help in coming up with distractions for baby photos later on.
Close up shots add a great level of intimacy to baby photos. The ideal way to do this is to use a camera with a stellar zoom. You can move the lens physically closer to baby, but one of two things may happen. Either you will scare your little one or they are going to get a really good grip on the camera.
A macro feature can add a whole new dimension to the baby photo experience. Macro features allow you to focus in on a particular body part. Making a part like the hand, ear or foot the complete focus of your shot will yield baby photos with spectacular details.
Timing is everything when taking baby photos. Try to pick the times in the day that baby is happiest or calmest. Right before meals or nap times will result in less than flattering photos of your baby.
Taking your baby photos during feeding time can actually yield some great shots. Bottle fed babies are in their most upright position when they are eating which can give you a better shot at their face. Eating is a central part of baby’s life; it is worth trying to get some close shots of the moment.
