While I am not a professional photographer, I've seen my share of family portrait sittings. I've learned over the years a couple tricks that will increase your odds of a beautiful holiday greeting card, starring your children!
1) Sometimes the best shots are candid shots. Remember that your child doesn't need to be smiling... a sleeping or laughing baby can make for a wonderfully authentic photo!
2) If you are using a professional photographer, be sure to schedule your sitting for when your child is well rested and fed.
3) Dress your child in simple, bright-colored clothing. Avoid busy patterns!
4) Bring along your child's favorite toy or puppet to help coax a smile.
5) Be sure your child is comfortable in the environment and take your time! Relax! If you are nervous, your child will certainly pick up the vibe and act on it. Remember that you are making beautiful holiday memories and enjoy yourself!
