Yes, You Can Take Cute Baby Pictures!
You want to share your baby with the world, and there's nothing wrong with that. Taking a cute baby picture, though, seems like it's way out of your league sometimes, so settling for a quick phone snap might seem like the best that you can do. That's not true, though! There's a few things that you can do, even with just a phone snap, that can make your baby pictures the cutest ones out there.
Simple works better.
Really! The simpler things are, the easier they are to get right. Don't go crazy trying to get the perfect background or props. You want the picture to focus on the cutest baby in the world, so don't overload the background with too much. Sometimes, the best way to get a great picture is to just have a simple background. Try couch cushions with a baby blanket draped over them, for example, or a simple shot of your cute baby lying on a blanket on the floor.
Take tons of pictures.
Don't stop clicking. Babies aren't going to take direction well, unfortunately, so sometimes it seems like you just have to luck into a good shot. However, professional photographers don't just happen into good pictures. They take several and choose the best. Don't just take one or two pictures and call it a day. You will absolutely find something cute to share if you take more than just a few pictures.
Cute accessories make the photo.
Even though simple does work better, there's nothing that says that you can't add a cute accessory or two to your baby's outfit. A headband with a bow that compliments the background or the cutest little bow tie or shoes really can draw attention to your photo. Try not to match colors when you're accessorizing; instead, use complimentary colors to really make the accessory pop. Don't overshadow your baby with an accessory that's too large or too busy. Stick to keeping it simple.
Don't overthink things.
This is probably the most important thing to keep in mind. In keeping with the theme, keep things simple. It'll be easier to manage and much easier to get a good picture. The attention should be on your baby, not everything else that's making the picture happen. It should be fun, not frustrating. This can be an incredible bonding experience with your baby, too. You're not only capturing a cute photo, but making a memory for yourself.
You really can take cute photographs of your baby. Whether you're sharing them with the world via social media or taking photos to hang on your walls, these tips can help you get the perfect (and cutest) shot. Have fun with it. Your joy will be infectious and it will show in the pictures. You don't need expensive equipment or props; you can take a cute baby picture today.
