and see the world as
they do! This will also
make them less
reluctant to being
photographed.

Whether you're using your
smartphone or a dedicated
camera, you can probably
shoot around 5-10 frames
per second! So don’t be
afraid to shoot to your
heart's content, and choose
your favorite photos later.
2. Burst Mode!

Especially if your kids are
still little, using a scale to
show their size can be a fun
way to create a compelling
photograph of your kid.

Are selfies corny? Sure, but
they’re also an easy way to
simply capture both you and your
child and all of the emotions that
you share together!
4. Embrace The
Selfie

6.
The simplest way to capture a great
moment is to simply always have a
way to capture it! These days,
almost everyone is walking around
with incredible cameras in their
pockets in the form of cell phones,
and new dedicated cameras are
becoming lighter and even
sometimes pocketable!
5. Keep Your Camera
With You!

7.
When you’re chasing your kids around,
it’s easy to get caught up in the action
and move around with them. However,
a shaky camera will almost always
result in blurry pictures. Instead, try to
anticipate their movements and keep
your camera steady, and make sure to
utilize burst mode when they run past!
6. Be Ready & Steady!

8.
Bringing props into the picture can
help bring some extra interest to the
photograph and even keep your kids
a bit more entertained while taking
some photos of them.
7. Use Props!

9.
Almost all photographers will tell you that
they love to take portraits in either the
early morning or late afternoon. This is
because sunlight at those times is much
softer and indirect, which is what’s
responsible for creating dreamy, golden
light. Taking good photos of kids is harder
during the middle of the day, when the
sunlight is harsh and direct. Try taking your
kids out for a walk just before sunset to
capture moments with that dreamy feel.
8. Use Soft Light

10.
Most current smartphones have an
incredible feature that allows you to
recreate the look of professional
portraiture with just your phone. Portrait
mode allows you to take photos with a
soft and blurry background which in the
past was something only achievable with
big cameras and expensive lenses. Using
portrait mode puts more emphasis on the
subject and will make your kid stand out
even more in your photos.
9. Use Portrait Mode

11.
The best thing you can do to take good
photographs of your kids is to simply keep it
fun! Monitor your kids' mood and make sure
that they are having a good time. You’ll know
when your kid is just over being
photographed. Pictures that are taken
reluctantly just wont turn out as well as ones
when everyone is happy to be there.
10. Have Fun!
