How to Photograph at Kids Birthday Parties

Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by Kate in Baby Stuff

Birthday parties are filled with activities, food and fun – what’s a better time to capture your little one’s precociousness on film? Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re following around the tiny tot’s with your camera:

1) always follow the cake (or cupcakes) – endless kodak moments pop up
2) get on their level – in order to show how they interact with their world, get down to their height to you can see what they see.
3) keep your eye on the background – the simpler the scene is behind your child, the more they will stand out of the picture
4) have fun and get your camera in there – people always want to see the photos, even if they don’t particularly like stopping what they are doing to pose for you
5) get unposed shots, too!
