How to Take Good Pictures by Yourself at Home

Do your child's hair! Curl it, straighten it, put Piggy's in, whatever. If you have a boy, style his hair or spike it!

Now look around the house for a couple props. Maybe you have a trampoline in the backyard, that crazy purse with sequins, pull it out!! A pretty or silly hat, grab it! A men's tie, grab it!

Set your camera to black and white! Take some color and some black and white!

Think of different poses or places to take pics! On the trampoline! Upside down! In front of pretty flowers, next to a tree...... If you have a couple kids, lay them on the ground in a circle with their heads together, come above them and snap the pic! If you are doing black and white, Try just a plain white wall in your home as the background! Have your child hold a flower!! Got a little boy? Put the tie around his neck. How about having your boy holding flowers behind his back, standing facing his sister, who is facing him!!

Take family pictures! Try black and white, have all of you on your tummies with your hands up on your chin, and legs kicked up behind you. Have your family lay in the circle heads together and have a friend snap it!

There are endless possibilities, The nice thing is, as we upload our pictures to the computer, with our camera's programs, edit, rotate etc!!
