moms- this is what you'll need, digital cameras, white sheets for backdrops, clip or tape on wall, tripods- they may also just want to hold the cameras. I also have them bring in their favorite stuffed animal for one of the photos. The photos I upload, crop, change to black and white and pick the best 4 expressions of each child. The frames are from the dollar store. Tada! the best Christmas present ever! Don't forget the labels on the back with the date, class, etc.
Remember-
1. Make sure the camera is focused and still2. Make your subject feel comfortable,
tell them nicely how you want them to pose.
3. You want to get 4 different looks from them, make sure 1 is a nice smiling one. How about happy, thoughtful, goofy, sad, sleepy, dreamy, excited or cuddly!
4. Take about 3 photos per expression. Take your time !HAVE FUN!
