6 Useful Baby Photography Ideas for Fun

Our little ones hate getting their picture taken. It’s important however to have pictures of their first few years of life. Sometimes even older children’s photography can be a challenge, but not when you have some great baby photography ideas. I can tell you everything you need to know about getting your baby to take the perfect picture exactly when you need. Why not listen to my advice and have a picture that you will love and cherish forever?

6 Baby Photography Ideas for Parents:

One of the most amazing things that can be done in baby photography is getting their picture in their natural habitat. Some of the cutest pictures you will collect as a parent will be taken while your kids hanging on the monkey bars, tipping over a rice crispy’s box, or just playing with her dolls. There are all super fun pictures that will remind you of your little one and all the fun things he or she used to enjoy doing.


1. Get help from elder child

If you are looking for something a little more formal this might be a little more of a challenge to do yourself, it’s not impossible, though. If you have an older child a tactic that can be used to get him to cooperate is a reward. Why not let him have a half hour more on the Xbox if she lets you take a few pictures! If your child is younger you are probably going to learn itsy bitsy spider. These cute little songs will get any baby to smile.

2. Take a natural picture

Remember, when it comes to child photography makeup is something that is never needed. You want to have these pictures with your child looking natural, the way he or she does every day. This is a much better way to preserve the memory of the baby you used to have when he’s grown up and gone.

3. Dress up your child

If you’re looking for something a little creative, you need to think about the time of year. You know, you don’t have to only dress up your child for a picture around Halloween. There are plenty of times a year where you can enjoy this silly little activity. Why not do a Santa hat picture for Christmas? The possibilities are endless.

4. Take dirty natural pictures

Sometimes the classics are great too. Our kids often look the cutest when they are dirty. Why not get a picture of your child after eating his messy dinner? Sometimes these can be the fondness memories. When it comes to photography tips for kids this pretty much takes the cake. And that my friend is the reason why you need to get a picture of your child covered in cake.

5. Make hair beautiful

Remember, nothing looks better on baby girls then a cute little bow. If your child does not have enough hair yet this is no reason to panic. There is another option, you can get a headband with a bow on it. That way your child can have the perfect bow just like all the other babies.

6. Look for light

Remember, make sure there is enough light. You want to be able to make these pictures out years from now. I know you don’t want to squint your baby’s eye.

Here is a brief rundown of the settings that are common to most digital cameras, both point and shoot and digital SLR.
