Find a Nice Location

Planning an Event?

The first pre-requisite is finding a fun location to perform this exciting photo shoot. It can be a brick wall or a splendid park in your locale. Or it can also be a picket fence, beneath a quirky tree in your neighbourhood, a nearby playschool or a fancy iron gate. The probabilities go on and on. Choose one or more locations of your choice.

Choose Some Cool Get-ups

Choose some cool, attractive costumes for this photoshoot. If you wish, you can make a few of your own following the instructions on Pinterest. Use stuff from home to accessorize and create some nice themes. Mix and match for cool, fun clicks.

An Impressive Backdrop

Mulling over about the sort of background to be used? Well, how about bunting? Bunting lets you make use of variegated combinations, and the result is so colourful! Balloons, streamers, beach, garden or lawn, park, football field, pallet wood, farmhouse etc. are some other options that you can consider.

Add in your Munchkin’s Personality

Pay attention to what your little one possesses an affinity for such as a guitar, books, or some kind of a special toy, and keep those things near them. While they get busy with their stuff, let the shutterbug capture the moments in his/her camera.

Indulge in some Fun

You don’t have to feel the pressure as there are no guests to entertain. You have got ample scope to spend as much time as possible with your baby. Make your little one smile and laugh. Real cheerfulness cannot be posed. So, let the real joviality of your baby get captured in the photos!

Lighting

The perfect lighting sets the atmosphere and offers you a firm basis for a professional-looking photo. If you prefer outside lighting, then sunset or sunrise would be the most propitious time. Try capturing photos beneath a porch or in complete shade. For inside lighting, you need to observe first which windows in your house receive the maximum light. You require light penetrating through a window which doesn’t seem too unpleasant and that offers you sufficient light to undertake a photoshoot without using the flash.

So these were some of the tips making use of which you can carry out an amazing photoshoot! If you have an amazing photoshoot of your baby that can inspire other young parents, do share with us at info@venuelook.com Or add your ideas in the comments below. Cheers!
