How to Photograph Newborns A Guest Post by Steph Tan. Among the many different photo shoots one can do, I’ve always considered newborn photography as one of the most challenging. Having great equipment and great technical know-how is never enough. For me, this is the genre of photography where the human touch is most important. Here are a few simple tips to make the most out of a newborn session: 1. Have a plan, seek permission for everything that you want to do, and make sure the parents are onboard. 2. While you have a plan, be ready to mix them around or chuck them out of the window if necessary. 3. For every stage of a baby’s life, they reach milestones, which are gems in their baby history. 4. These little ones are growing everyday. 5. Everyone’s excited about the new baby! 6. Before the shoot, ask permission to use some props you’ve been itching to try out. I hope these help.

More Baby Photography Tips There’s a real baby theme on DPS this week. Our editor Darren just had his 2nd son earlier in teh week and yesterday we published a baby photography tips post and today we have another one from Candace Lindemann from the Mamanista and Mama Saga blogs. We didn’t plan to have two posts on baby photography on the same week – but when they both were submitted on the same day we thought it’d make a nice series! Babies are an attractive, yet elusive subject. Light of My Life Before we even get to that adorable baby, let’s talk about lighting. Natural sunlight is often the most flattering light for human subjects, especially the warm, soft rays just after dawn and just before dusk. If sunlight is not available, a soft shaded desk lamp can also set an intimate scene. Set the Scene Speaking of scenery, considering your surroundings will improve your shot greatly. Consider the outdoors and its seasonal settings. As Soft As a Baby’s… You can also surround your baby with luxurious, soft fabric.
Positive Parenting In The Tantrum Zone Posted by janet on Apr 13th, 2011 Hi Janet, Basically, we’ve been in extreme tantrum zone for about 6 months now. I was looking for guidance as to if I’m on the right track with what I’m doing, or if there’s anything else I could be doing to help her manage her emotions so we can work towards having less and less full-scale meltdowns. 1) Remind her that she can say what she wants in a calm voice (sometimes this will head off a tantrum/meltdown before it happens) 2) If that doesn’t work, let her know that we can talk about what she wants when she calms down 3) If she’s unable to calm down, I will generally go with her to either a bedroom or outside until she is calm enough to talk about it (I don’t leave her anywhere on her own because I’m uncomfortable with time outs etc) 5) And once all that is done with we go back to what we were doing before Thanks, Zoey Hi Zoey, Ah, the extreme tantrum zone. Now add another ingredient, a situation way beyond your daughter’s control. So, how to help?
