Taking pictures of your new baby is something that you have thought about for 9 months. Photography sessions will happen everyday, most likely, for the first few days of his/her life. Follow these simple tips to make the most of the shots that you take. Turn Off the Flash Newborn babies' eyes are very sensitive to bright lights, therefore you do not want to have a camera flash going off as you take their picture, so be sure it is turned off. When the baby is asleep you can turn it on, anytime that the baby has her eyes open just remember to turn it off. Turn Off Red Light Some cameras have a red eye reduction that shines a red light on the subject of the picture that you are taking. You will want to turn this off as well because it would be very unpleasant to the newborn baby. Remember Close Up's Take close up's of the baby's feet, hands and little bum. These shots will be so precious to you as they grow and are not so small any more. Choose Plain Backgrounds Too many patterns can be busy and take the focus off the beautiful subject. Use Natural Light Don't shine a light in the direction of the newborn baby, have the overhead light in the room on to cast a gentle amount of light on the newborn baby that will not overwhelm him. You can use outside light as well, you won't likely be taking pictures of a newborn baby outside but you can take pictures where an uncovered window can shine into the room. Keep in mind though that the sunlight coming from the window should not be too bright and overwhelming for the newborn baby. |
