Capturing Smiles That Say "Look At Me" - Big Y® World Class Market®

(NAPSI)- Capturing some of the remarkable moments in your child's life through portraits will allow you to hold onto those precious memories forever and cherish the milestones you capture. At the same time, portraits are a great way to build your child's self esteem and nurture his or her unique personality.

Getting the best shots of your child may take some creativity and advance planning. Following are some portrait tips for drawing out your child's true personality:

Take your child's portrait during his or her "good" time of day, such as after a nap or meal time.

Incorporate personal props, such as costumes, hats or toys to not only show your child's interests, but also make him or her comfortable.

Don't shy away from capturing a variety of feelings, such as a smirk, a wail, a smile, or a frown.

Take portraits of your child in a variety of outfits from play clothes to casual to formal.

Help your child relax by encouraging playtime prior to portrait time.

Include other people in portraits with your child. You might capture Grandma feeding her baby grandson or big sister kissing her little sister on the nose.

Remember, capturing your child's growing personality through both home snapshots and professional portraits is a great way to hold onto your memories as the years fly by.

Frequently capturing your child in photos helps build self esteem and nurture growing personalities.
