The most important thing when photographing a child is the relaxed atmosphere. It is very important to have time to capture the process of any activity of the baby - a fascinating acquaintance with nature or a toy, the first spoons of puree, etc. It is desirable that the child go about his own business.

Don't expect your kids to pose for you. It is advisable to take several pictures - out of 15 photographs, only one may be the most successful. You can take photos from different angles - lie down, squat, try to position the lens not at eye level, but below, at shoulder level. Children's facial expressions are changeable, you need to capture the maximum range of emotions on the child's face.
Always take your camera with you when you are traveling with your little one. It is impossible to guess when the opportunity for a good photo will appear.
In order to properly photograph children for portraits, it is necessary to choose a neutral background that will not distract from the image of the child. At the same time, it is not necessary to dress the baby brightly or even pretentiously, the main thing is to capture the facial features, eyes and the smile of the baby.
To create a dynamic plot, a beautiful background - a park, a playground, attractions, can become an ideal territory for photography.

Emotional photographs are boring. You can play, dance, laugh, in such a natural environment, the child will feel like himself. Do not waste time directing a photo shoot, do not tire the child with your staged desires. It is best to film the baby often, but better by creating a story of the baby's growing up.
