Do you like to take pictures of the kiddos, but could use some helpful tips? Well then our next guest posting is sure not to disappoint. Ready for the dandiness? Here you go!Â
Hi! My name is Sarah and like many of you out there, I LOVE taking pictures!Â
Especially of my husband and daughter :0) People often ask me when I started out with photography and I tell them that I was the girl in junior high and high school that always had a camera! Thankfully digital cameras came around so that I can now take pictures to my heart’s content without paying a fortune. After the birth of my daughter I started taking even more pictures and before I knew it I had started a blog, Belle Petite Photo, and was taking pictures for family and friends and clients. I still have a LONG way to go with my photography, but I’m enjoying the journey. For those of you who are looking to take your photography up a notch, here are a few simple suggestions:
1) Take lots of pictures. (Even very experienced photographers take a lot of pictures…it gives them options to work with after the photo shoot is done.) Especially when you’re taking pictures of your kids in action….the more you take, the better chance you have of getting a great one! Plus, sometimes it is fun to put a series of pictures together.
2) Try a new perspective. Too often we document our cute-kid moments the same way every time, from above. Try getting down on THEIR eye level or even laying on the ground to capture moments. (i.e. your infant learning how to crawl). More interesting perspective = More interesting picture.

3) Zoom in, zoom out. Try zooming completely out to get the whole scene then zooming in to focus in on what’s happening. Then, try capturing the same scene from a different angle or area of the room. Each picture will paint a different part of the story.
4) Use whatever you have. My first few photo shoots were done with my Canon 3.2 point and shoot. (I was a little sheepish to accept $70 for such a photo shoot, but hey…that was all I had at the time and it worked! Don’t worry folks, I only use my Nikon DSLR for photo shoots these days :0)) If I’ve only brought our camcorder to an event I’ll take still shots with that and call it good. Really, it doesn’t have to be an expensive piece of equipment to capture great moments :0)Â
If you have a second, click here to see my blog! If you have two more seconds, I’d love to get a comment too! Most of my time is spent with my sweet little family, but if you do live in the St. Louis area and are interested in booking a photo shoot, I do have some available sessions. Email me at: bellepetitephotographie@gmail.com
This is great! Thanks for the tips — taking shots from a new angle is a great idea; especially when little ones aren’t so cooperative. Thank you!
excellent points and the details are more precise than elsewhere, thanks.
