Think color, composition and creativity when arranging your setting. Setting up a sheet or fabric backdrop can make the all the difference in the world between an average picture and one that looks professional. Remember, the photo's subject is the baby, not the TV in the background. Clean, neat pictures usually win over those with normal settings. Check out past winners of the Baby Contest or Toddler Contest or look at the work of Anne Geddes .
Ideas come from many directions.
This is the number one mistake in submissions. Our winners are posted on the home page, and we just can't have a baby wearing a Santa suit featured in March. Use your scanner to crop, lighten and enhance your pictures. The point here is to get good pictures and have fun in the process. All rights reserved.
