Taking baby pictures at home? Expert lifestyle photographer Anna Goellner shares tips on how to take great baby pictures. Watch as she discusses baby picture tips with some extra cute little ones modeling. Anna’s most important tip is to use natural light instead of any kind of artificial light or flash since lighting is biggest contributor to great pictures. Make sure your child is well rested and keep the backgrounds simple. You will want to focus your efforts on keeping the baby’s attention instead of messing with props. Whatever you decide, do not get distracted by perfection. The best shots are often surprises. Enjoy yourself and have fun capturing life’s unexpected moments that you will cherish forever.
