How to Take Better Photos of Your Kids
My photo philosophy is to take a million pictures and hope I get a few good shots. Yet, I've recently realized that I still need to improve my composition, no matter how many photos I take. Here's what I've been learning about taking photos of kids. I think it's helping me. See if it helps you, too.
1. Get close. Zoom into the face or eyes.
2. Get up high, on their level, or below. In other words, try a different angle – like taking a photo from up above with your child looking up.
3. Skip the flash. Flashes wash out the color. Turn it off. Forever.
4. Pay attention to the background. Messy house? (Me, too.) Pick up whatever is in the background and your photo will look 100 times better.
5. Take pictures of daily moments, not posed smiles.
6. Small depth of field. This means the background is blurry, out of focus but your child is in focus.
Now, go forth and shoot beautiful photos.
Don't forget to upload one to Imagine Toy's Facebook Page! We can't wait to hear from you.
