Taking photos of newborns and babies is one of the most rewarding aspects of scrapbooking. They are simply my favorite subjects to photograph. There is really nothing so delicate as baby skin, and as adorable as a yawn from a tiny mouth. Being able to capture these precious moments on film will be a treasure to be cherished for many years.

Here are 10 tips for taking great baby photos.

Take Your Time

Take your time when photographing newborns and babies. Infants can be sleepy and fussy at any time of the day. There is no hurrying them. If you want photos when the baby is both asleep and awake, you have to allot a good chunk of time to your photo session. An alternative is to take photos at different times or days. This is also great for having variety in your photos.

No Flash

Turn off your flash. Photograph your subjects in natural light, and you will capture their angelic features. Let the light come in through a large window. Position your subject close to the window, at a 45-degree angle to the light. Avoid direct sunlight which can create harsh shadows. The best time would be late morning or early afternoon.

Use Your Viewfinder

Compose your photograph through the camera’s viewfinder, instead of relying on the LCD screen. Check that there is enough light. There should be no harsh shadows or dark areas, especially on the newborn’s face. Adjust your subject’s position if necessary.

Inspiration is a big part of scrapbooking. It drives us to document our stories, emotions and relationships.

The spark that inspired us to begin scrapbooking in the first place seems to have fizzled out. These are the times we need motivation to pick up our supplies and create again.

While inspiration may seem to come from out of the blue, we can take better charge of our creative process if we can understand and harness this energy. We will then be able to sustain our creativity and scrapbooking through the ebbs and flows presented by our limited time and resources.

Here are a few tips that will get you inspired to scrapbook:

Identify What Inspires You

Whether it’s the stories of your life, a stack of brand-new paper, or a favorite photo, there is always something that lights even the tiniest flicker of inspiration in you.
