1. Find the Light

Good light makes all the difference!

Look for natural light by windows, doorways, or outside during the early morning or late afternoon (hello, golden hour!).

Avoid using your flash indoors if you can — soft natural light will make your photos glow.

2. Get on Their Level

Instead of standing over your child, kneel or sit down to photograph them eye-to-eye. It makes the images feel more personal and lets you truly capture their world from their perspective. Swipe left

3. Capture the Candid Moments

Don't wait for the "perfect pose", some of the best photos happen when your kids are just being themselves! Laughing, playing, helping in the kitchen, building forts... document the messy, magical in-between moments too.

4. Use Simple Backgrounds

Look for clean, uncluttered spaces behind your child so the focus stays on them.

Plain walls, a patch of grass, a cozy couch, simple backgrounds make your little one pop in the photo!

5. Take More Than One Shot

Snap a few extra pictures instead of just one. Tiny changes in expression (a real giggle, a thoughtful look) often make the biggest difference when you look back later.
