Helpful tips for taking baby pictures
© Copyright Ada Kanu 2010
* Remember to get down to baby’s level, while some poses look great from above (baby swaddled, trying to crawl), for those candid face shots, being at eye level gives a more realistic look.
* I’ve found that simple is often best, background that is. When you look at most of the professional shots of celebrities, it is often against a simple background, the ultimate goal is to capture the memory of baby, a fancy background would only detract from this.
* The early moments of life are moments once they are gone, you can never capture again, so be sure to take pictures of all those moments, happy, sad, fussy, sleepy, serve as pleasant memories which might otherwise have been forgotten.
* Treat your baby like the star he/she is, move in for that close up and capture those candid moments of innocence.
* And finally, take, take and take as many pictures as you can, baby will only be this little once, make the most of this time when they are much more sleepy, and not squirming away from the eager shutterbug.

© Copyright Ada Kanu 2010
Pictures tell a story of events past, so that in the future, we can look back at those memories and reminisce about those memories.
Your scrapbook serves as a record through journaling telling the story and memories in each photo.
In that light, approach scrapbooking thus; scrapbook as being the author of your own biography, to be enjoyed and pored over by others through the years.

With the perfect image, adding too many elements creates a busy photo, actually detracting from the focal point which should be enjoying the beauty of a photo.
Having my children professionally photographed is always an exciting moment to look forward to, because not only does it mean a new addition to their baby book, but it serves as a wonderful pictorial guide to their progress through the years, and then there is the designer and scrapbooker in me itching to get to those photos and enhance them with every available element and scrap kits I have available to bring the best out of these photos.
Wouldn’t you agree that simple in the above case is better?
The simple frame gives you a chance to admire Harry’s smile, enjoy the playfulness of Henry, and just melt your heart at Hanna’s sweetness.
