Babies a very cute, and nothing makes a parent prouder than sharing

pictures of their new child.  There are no such thing as an ugly baby, so if you need a side hustle keep babies pics in mind. Everybody loves looking at pictures of babies, too. If you have a little one in the house, get your camera

ready and start sharing those cute baby pictures today. The more

pictures you have the more fun you will have showing your precious

pictures. Here are some great ideas to help you take better shots of

your baby.

 

Stay Ready

 

You can never know when your baby will do something entertaining or

do something for the first time. For that reason, you always need to

have your camera nearby and ready to go. That means making sure

you have plenty of film if you use a film camera and making sure your

have enough room on your memory stick or card if you use digital. You

will also want to make sure that you have enough battery life in your

camera at all times. Many parents use more than one camera, too. You

can even put a disposable camera in the car or diaper bag for times

that are just too cute to pass up.

 

Get Candid Shots

 

Some of the sweetest pictures of babies are candid shots. You can

take memorable pictures of your baby taking a bottle, sleeping and

smiling. Candid shots look much more relaxed and natural than posed

shots and you will only feel frustrated trying to be posed shots anyway.

 

Babies are notorious for not cooperating for posed pictures. Do not

waste your time and take candid shots instead. Do not forget all to take

pictures of every part of your baby, such as those fat little fingers or

those tiny toes. Those are always sweet reminders of this young age. If

you have a good zoom lens, you can often take great candid shots of

your baby from a distance. These are great because your baby will

never even know you are there.

 

Take Pictures in Black and White

 

You cannot get very many adorable pictures of your baby taken in black

and white or in sepia tones. You can guarantee that grandma and

grandpa will be gushing over those, too. Most digital cameras come

with black and white and sepia settings, so take advantage. In addition,

when you take black and white, you do not have to worry about what

your baby is wearing, because everything looks good. The more natural

the pictures the more fun you will have looking at them in the future.

Kids caught doing what they do best is always a showstopper. They

offer hours of enjoyment and catching all the excitement counts.

 

Take Plenty Of Shots

 

You should take plenty shots of the baby doing the same thing. You

may take twenty-five of the babies crawling of the first time, but may

only get two or three that are worth using. The more pictures you take,

the more you have to choose from the better. It is always best to take

more than not enough. A professional as well as armatures know, that

not all pictures turn out, especially if you use a high-speed camera. Just

keep taking pictures to ensure you capture the moment.

 

Do Something with Those Pictures

 

The last tip is to make sure you actually do something with your pictures

after you take them. So many people leave undeveloped rolls of film

sitting around for months or never print their digital pictures. Babies

grow and change too fast. You should make it a point to print and share

your pictures every week.

 

In addition, if you use digital pictures, you should always make sure you

back up your pictures onto a disk on a regular basis. You certainly do

not want to lose these irreplaceable photos. This has happened too

many successful photographers and does cause quite a commotion

when you lose all your precious moments that you never again will see.
