Baby Photography - Making It Easier For You To Photograph Babies! by Michelle Lee Fui Jinn

I enjoy photographing babies as I really do love children. Many might shiver at the words "photographing babies" as this is one of the most challenging photography genres.

Baby Photography Tips #1...
- What's Tough About Photographing Babies?

Babies are immobile and are hard to predict, especially the ones born within 2 weeks to 4 months.

It is always the case that one finds difficulty having babies to present a certain posture or pose according to the photographer's wants.

Baby Photography Tips #2 - How To Tackle Babies That Are Immobile and Unpredictable?

Here is a suggestion; lay the baby on a bed or anywhere else that is soft. Next, lie on the bed right next to the baby with your camera also lying on the bed. Finally, capture the baby's picture.

This will result in a really good picture of the baby you photograph. The baby's lovely eyes will be a wonderful focus point. Try this one out!

Baby Photography Tips #3 - What To Do When Babies Are Able To Do More Tricks?

Once babies reach the age of 4 months to 5 months old, they will start to smile, lift their heads up, and respond to the noises you make. Make use of these advantages!

For example, you can make long, silly noises so that the baby will look up at you. At this very moment, shoot! If these little darlings are somehow unable to hold their heads up at this age, you can consider making use of support pillows.

Baby Photography Tips #4 - The Photo Shoot Area

While you photograph babies, make sure the area of your photo shoot is clear from toys and other grab able items. Babies are easily distracted by these things.

You can put this step aside if you wish to capture a photo of the baby playing with toys. Even so, remember to watch out for the baby's safety. Be aware of the surrounding of the photo shoot area.

Do not conduct a photo shoot of babies for too long. Reason being babies tend to get frustrated. This will only make your photo sessions harder to conduct.

Baby Photography Tips #5 - How Do I Get The Baby To Look At The Camera?

Here are some ways to get to get these little darling's attention; keep eye contact with them, play games, or make long yet funny noises. If any of these methods work, repeat them!

Baby Photography Tips #6 - When Babies Can Do More Tricks, Make Sure To Get Them On Camera!

I enjoy photographing babies at the age of 5 to 8 months the most! This is because babies at this age tend to be a lot easier to photograph.

They will be able to sit up by themselves, are not very easily distracted, smile a lot, etc. Get them to smile by playing games, singing songs, clapping hands, make funny noises, or whatever you can think of. Trust me, these are really fun to do!

When babies reach the age of 8 to 14 months old, they will be able to do even more tricks! They will begin to stand, crawl, and babble.

Baby Photography Tips #7 - Keep Them Engaged

Whatever the child says, repeat it! Babies get amused when you do this and they will therefore give you his/ her attention.
