For all you mama's that are unable to have a photographer at your birth or for a fresh 48 due to the virus. Here are some tips to take decent looking pictures on your phone or with your own camera.
-Try to take them during the day when there's lots of window light.
-Turn off those ugly hospital lights. Use window light only if you can.
-Position your baby or the person you're photographing either facing the light or so the light is coming in from their side
-Do not take photos with your lens facing the window unless you're trying to get a silhouette. The window will be the brightest part of your photo and your subject will be dark.
The window should be to your side or to your back.
-If you're standing with your back to the window be careful that your body is not blocking the light.
-Don’t take photos aiming up babies nose. Shoot down the bridge of the nose, from above or to the side.
-Remember the details! Don’t be afraid to get in close! Get detail shots of fingers, toes, lips, eyes, nose.
-If your phone has portrait mode use it!
-Download the Lightroom app and edit your photos!
