The Road Less Traveled

• Mon 16 Apr 2007 - Baby Portrait - photography tip

Posted in Home Life
I haven't had time or $ to take my baby (who is now 7 mo. old) to get portraits. Now that we have 6 kids, it's getting to hard to keep up on all of that. I do really like photography and like trying to take my own portraits of my kids, so yesterday I took my baby outside to get some pics with our camera.

One tip my dad gave me when we were out on a walk once and he was taking a close-up pic of something was to stand farther away from something and zoom in close if you want the background to be more blurred. I tried this when taking the pics of my daughter. The one pic that I think most looks like a true portrait-type pic I was able to get this affect. I'll post that one and another one that is just a cute pic where I like her smile better, but I don't think it looks as much like a professionaly portrait. Anyways, it's something I enjoy tinkering with.

I really like this - just wish she was smiling a bit more...coloring seems a bit white too on her skin...

Cute but not as professional-looking as a portrait

These pictures look wonderful! I don't believe Se**rs or O.Mi*ls could have done a better job. I do like your dad's tip.
