One of the hardest photos to capture is baby's passport photo. Luckily I've done it once or FIVE times before, so I've learned a few tricks!
🌎 If you're planning on taking your own photo you will need two people to get the shot quicker🌎 Don't try too close before or after a feed🌎 If baby is sleepy use a water wipe to wash their face
🌍 Lie baby on a white blanket🌎 Have baby in a block colour (not white), the darker the better🌎 If baby uses a soother let them suck it until the last second
🌏 Count down from 3 to pull the soother so photograper knows to be ready🌏 As you pull out the soother gently hold baby's hands down🌍 Dangle a noisy toy above baby near camera so you'll get them to look at the camera
Hopefully these tips will help you get your photo within a couple of shots. All that's left to do is enjoy your holiday!
