When taking pictures of babies, you should not use too many props, it will make the photo confusing and dilute, making the viewer's eyes not focus on the main character, the baby.

You are not a photographer, nor do you own expensive, professional cameras, but if you apply the tips below correctly, you will have photos that are just as beautiful as those taken by photographers in the studio!

Do you want to take photos and preserve beautiful moments of your baby anytime, anywhere? The following tips will help parents take beautiful photos of their baby with the same quality as going to a studio.

You don’t have to use a fancy, professional camera to get beautiful photos. The camera equipment is not as important as the feeling or idea you want to convey through the photo. Just a small, pretty phone, but if you have good, new ideas, you will capture impressive moments of your baby!

- Use props appropriately and correctly

*Should choose props that are safe for children*

When choosing props, be careful to choose props that are safe for children, do not use fragile props such as ceramic, porcelain, or glass. Cotton and props with glitter dust are beautiful but also quite dangerous for the baby's respiratory tract, you should limit the use of this material.

*Cotton, glitter dust... can be inhaled by children, causing difficulty breathing, so you should be careful when using them.*

If choosing a wrap or scarf to dress up your baby, choose a soft, smooth towel that is not scratchy, itchy, or uncomfortable for your baby.

*A funny pair of glasses can also become a prop to make your baby more adorable.*

- Pay attention to the background

To get a good photo, you should try to clean the background before taking the photo. A baby placed on a bed full of things or clothes, hair, and hats in disarray will not bring sympathy to the viewer.

- Pay attention to your baby's health and mood

You should not try to take pictures when your baby is tired, upset, uncomfortable or crying. If your baby is still young, you can let him/her rest to eat, sleep, change diapers, etc. The moment when your baby is most relaxed is about 10 minutes after waking up from a nap, you can take advantage of this time to "capture" the moment when your baby is happy.

*Playing and relaxing will help your baby feel more comfortable when taking pictures.*

With older children, when they are tired or uncomfortable, stop and let them play a few favorite games before continuing to take pictures.

- Choose the light

Lighting is one of the most important factors in creating a beautiful photo. If you are taking photos indoors, you should take photos of your baby in an area with natural light coming in from a window.
