Just about everyone enjoys looking at baby photos but what is it about a baby that is so appealing? And what makes the little bundles of joy so very hard to capture on film? This article addresses some of the reasons that we swoon over baby photos and it provides some suggestions for capturing the right picture at home.
Babies are naturally cute (though some may argue that a newborn is a little unattractive) because they are helpless. Cuteness may be a survival mechanism built right into your little one. Anyone who feels warm while looking at a baby photo understands that there is a drive to nurture and cuddle this little creature. There is a purpose for the cuteness.
An artist who specializes in portraits will assert that babies are cute because of their eyes. The eye is the only organ in the human body that does not grow. Your eyes are the same size as they were on the day you were born.
Don't believe it? Look at your baby photos and see. Better yet, hold an infant next to you while looking in a mirror. You and the little tyke will have eyes that are about the same size. This also makes infants a challenge for artists to draw because they are relatively disproportionate.
It is the lack of proportion that makes the baby photos so appealing. Think about the cute cartoon characters you have known and loved. Most of them have large, wide eyes. The most appealing characters have bigger eyes just like the big peepers found in baby pictures.
Okay. We know they are cute but we still need to find a way of capturing the cuteness on film or on our digital cameras. The first thing we need is patience. Babies are not natural models and they don't particularily care about their baby photos. They have other things on their minds. Bear with them.
Luck is also handy but you can work around that. Make sure that the focus is on the infant's puss. The cutest baby photos are close-ups. Avoid using extravagant backgrounds because they may pull the focus away from the subject.
Getting the infant to smile can be one of the biggest challenges. Here is where luck and fortune would do wonders but we all know that they don't always work in our favor. You have to use what you know about your little one in order to catch those perfect smiles for your baby photos.
Remember what makes your baby make those precious faces and engage the infant in that activity. Someone else needs to take the baby photos while you encourage the smiles.
How To Take Baby Pictures
Are daily schedules of responsibilities and activities may take us away from being with our young children. As much as we would like to spend more time with them, the burdens of daily living and doing your share of supporting your family does not allow you to spend as much time with your young children as you would like to.
Well, there are some solutions to this problem that you have. Here are some practical ways to afford yourself with more time to spend with your little one.
Take Baby On A Jog With You
Exercise is important, and if you are like me, you try to get a nice dose of good exercise on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it may not always be convenient, or even practical, to take baby with you while you go exercising.
However, there is a safe and very convenient way to take your baby, or babies if you have more than one, on a job with you if this is one of the ways you get your exercise. Jogging strollers are designed to protect your young child and keep them safe and secure while you take along with you for a job or a brisk walk.
The wheels on jogging strollers are bigger and more rugged than your conventional baby stroller making the jogging stroller more shock resistant to make the ride less bumpy and keep your baby from being tossed around too much. In addition the wheels afford you the ability to take baby on terrain other than
concrete or pavement.
In addition, the jogging stroller is enclosed in a screened mesh material so your child will be shaded from the sun and protected from insects such as mosquitoes.
Jogging strollers are designed mostly for toddlers and absolutely not for newborn infants. It is best to wait a while for your child to grow into a toddler before taking him or her for a jog in a jogging stroller.
While At The Office
For those who work in an office, sometimes you may be called back for an emergency of some sort on your day off. If you are with baby and you cannot find a sitter, many bosses and supervisors will yield to your request to bring baby in with you for your emergency work day.
Keeping track of baby while at the office can become a very hard task, but portable play pens can make it a lot easier for you. Play pens will keep your baby from getting into things that he or she is not supposed to go. Simply set up the play pen, give baby a bottle and some baby proof toys to play with in the play pen, and you are all set to continue working on your job tasks.
These baby equipment allow us to easier and more comfortable take baby with us everywhere we go. Although we may be very busy, we should always try to find ways to be with our precious little ones.
