I need ideas for a photo shoot

February 9th, 2012
My friend back home just got herself a brand new camera and is wanting to do a photo shoot with her son.. she needs some ideas here is what I came up with so far..

-Him laying on a mirror to see his reflection.
-Using a bubble machine
-Baby blue and white balloons with him on a pillow.
-Close ups of his hands and feet.

Her son is only 3 months old. She doesn't have any equipment besides her camera..

Forget props, just have fun with him. Make him laugh, roll around with him, tickles, cuddles and love!

If you want props though, hats and shoes are always cute...

just disappear into the background and follow him around- children are naturals and thats what you want to capture- also think eyes, bare feet- unique features that stand out that make him who he is.

You can have him sitting on a bed or pillow surrounded by his stuff toys.

Facebook has lots of baby photographers, have a look on there for ideas. The already suggested ideas of hands, feet are good. Eyes and lashes is another. Favourite toy if they have one. With other family members.

A facebook page that is wonderful that I post on is How to Photograph Your Baby ( https://www.facebook.com/how.to.photograph.your.baby) and is a wonderful community with lots of ideas.
