Baby Care 1st Year  Resource > How To Take Better Photos of Your Baby or Toddler-Baby Photography Tips.

Every Mom wants to take great photos of their babies and toddlers. We all want professional looking photos for our children without paying a fortune! This Better Baby Photos section will help you take the best photos you can and you don't even have to own an expensive camera.

 When I had my first baby 4 years ago, I became interested in photography. I wanted to capture every precious moment and every important milestone on film. I am sure you are just like me in wanting to take these same precious photos of your baby or toddler. In the beginning I used a Kodak Digital Camera. For the past few year I have used a Kodak 7640 and Kodak P850. Now I use a Nikon D40 SLR and I take professional looking photos everyday of my 2 little boys.

Here is the camera I use: Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX and 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens with 2 Nikon School DVD

 Quick Tips To Better Baby Photos

• The first thing I suggest is to be aware of the lighting. The best place to take photos is outside in a natural setting. You should take photos early in the morning or late in the evening right before the sun sets. Remember to use your flash for fill flash outside. This lighting produces stunning results!

• The second thing I suggest is to get closer to your baby or toddler and get down to their level. Never photograph from above.

• The third thing I suggest is to make the setting/background simple. Try to place your child near a simple background.

• The fourth thing I suggest is to take lots and lots of photos. The more photos you take, the more photos you will have to choose from. You may just get lucky with an adorable one of a kind photo of your baby! You may capture the perfect moment! So, never stop taking pictures!
