Your photo album and computer are loaded with pictures of your new baby, but how many truly capture her unique spirit and personality? Use these tips for frame-worthy photos: Shoot in natural light if possible. Get down on her level and as close as you can to her face. Take close-ups of her toes, fingers and other tiny features. Act a little silly to get her to smile. Capture her in motion; reaching, yawning, crawling or crying. Experiment with black and white for a more artistic effect.
