How to take amazing cellphone photos of your littles!
Now more than ever we are using our phones to document our family. So I thought I making a little video might help break down how I do it and my thought while I snap some quick photos of my kid!
5 tips for amazing cellphone pictures of your kids!
Avoid harsh light, diffuse it with a white sheer curtain or shower curtain. Harsh light can and will blow out the highlight of the image and you can actually loose part of your photo.
Get on there level, don’t over pose. This is the number one mistake when photography children, don’t over pose, they will loose interest, or give you one of the fake smiles, so they can be done quickly. Instead, find an activity they love and move around were they are, get down on their level. Stand on a chair and shoot from that vantage point.
I love showing how small my kiddo is so stand back and use the negative space to really give perceptive. Speaking of different vantage points, back up place kids in the right or left of the frame to give you some negative space.
Slow shutter speed with an app called Slow Shutter to show movement. Creates a really cool blurry artistic photography.
Edit. Clean up those horizontal line. Last thing straighten the horizon or the line in the background of the image, it makes for a polished image.
HAVE FUN! if taking a photo of your kid becomes a chore, don’t do it, hire a professional photographer and know that you'll have memories of your little ones as they grow!
