Taking the Photos - Getting that Perfect Shot

Faces of You Photo Shoot

Photo Shoot

Rebecca Ludens
To get the perfect shot, the best tip is to take a lot of pictures. Use a digital camera so that you can see right away if you need to take more photos. I found it helpful to have a sibling or spouse standing behind me to help direct my son while I snapped the photos. The helper suggested motions or positions for him while I was able to concentrate on keeping the camera focused on his face. I ended up with twice as many good shots as needed for my scrapbook page, allowing me to pick the perfect ones for the layout.
