| HINTS & TIPS. | | Baby photography: getting started |
| | | TIME IT RIGHT Wait for when your baby is calm, perhaps after a feed or during a nap. |
| | | | MAKE EYE CONTACT Shoot down low at their eye level to create a sense of intimacy. |
| | | | NATURAL LIGHT Use a reflector to make the most of window light – try a large piece of white paper for this. |
| | | | SHH! SHOOT SILENTLY Avoid distracting the baby with loud sounds. |
| | | | EXPERIMENT WITH FOCAL POINTS Normally you’d focus on the eyes for portraits, but small hands and feet can be interesting focal points too. |
