If you’re trying to take a picture of a newborn, you can always do it when he’s sleeping. Otherwise, see if you can take the photo at a different time of day, but when it’s still light out. Also, make sure your baby is fed, warm, rested, and that her diaper is clean. Try to calm your baby with her favorite toy, or play some calming music in the background. If you still can’t seem to get a successful photo, don’t force it, because it’ll just make things worse. Just be patient and try again later or the next day if you can.
