Baby photos

[winterlight]

My baby girl is a few weeks old and I find that my shots of her are rather boring. Any tips? I am using a Canon 550D and find that i mainly use the 17-55 2.8 IS although i have an 85mm 1.8 as well. Thanks

Try doing body parts in context, show how big hands/feet are-it's crazy looking back and realising how much they have changed! Possibly try a "day in the life" shoot- from your angle and theirs. Otherwise look on istock, 500px, flickr, google, mothercare catalogue or something else for a few ideas. Good luck

good idea. Will give that a go this weekend. Thanks

I have seen a beautiful picture with the dads hands holding the tiny babys foot, ie, the hands together with the sole of the foot between them. The little details can work beautifully.
