from: Jennifer Tibbetts of http://www.jennifertibbetts.com/- Find unique area's that compliment your style such as nursery's, farms, barns, etc.
- Use a toy that makes noise so that you are able to distract your child.
- Some of the best props can be found at your local thrift store and even in your own home.
- Don't take pictures in full sunlight, instead try to find a shaded area. This will keep your children from squinting in the pictures.
- Try not to have a lot of distractions in the background so that your photo will focus on the subject.
- Use coordinating colors for photos, especially family photos.
- Try to take natural poses of your children as this is the way you will remember them.
- Buy a zip drive to store your photos; a computer crash will take away your cherished memories.
- Try to have another person with you to help distract your children.
- Take pictures of your children during their happiest time of the day. Taking pictures during nap time or lunch time makes for a touchy session.
- Be patient and the captured moments will happen.
