Photographer Sets New Standard For Newborn Portraits
Show me a new mama and I'll show you a woman with a brag book filled with precious photos of her newborn. There's no denying that parents love to show off their kids, be it via images on their phones, albums in their Facebook accounts or photo albums bursting out of their bags.
While snapshots on the ol' digital camera may work for some moms, others turn to the professionals for a portrait that can become the centerpiece of their rooms.
Do You Prefer Traditional or Modern School Pictures?
Strike a pose, it's picture time! Good-bye cheesy portraits — a number of schools are giving students and their parents more options when it comes to taking the traditional class shots. Last week while filling out my daughter's order form, I was surprised to see how many options were available — from an up-close-and-personal angle to the old-school shot.
Have You Ever Taken a Photo of Your Child With Booze?
It's Labor Day weekend, and I have a feeling many a baby will be propped on the lawn chair with a cold one resting next to him while his parents snap away. If it's hot enough, mama might even put him in the cooler for a quick ice down. Moms and dads who don't condone children drinking or even wearing gear promoting the alcoholic substances may find posing the babe next to a bottle of booze harmless.
Texts and Tunes: Board Book Albums
After looking at all of the board books lined up on my kids' bookshelves, I'm amazed that I never had this idea myself. When Laura Miranti's youngest child was undergoing early learning therapy, her therapist suggested creating a photo album of the people and objects her daughter saw on a daily basis. From there, the Texas-based mom of three hatched an idea for Board Book Albums.
Pimp Your Crib: Me Art
There are few images a child would rather see than his own face. While framing pictures of your tot is one way to make them happy, putting his image on canvas brings a whole new life to the likeness. Me Art allows you to create your own piece of artwork based on a favorite photo.
Have Your Tot's Picture Taken With Santa?
Santa Claus is coming to town and well, he's already at the mall! Whether you use the snapshot of your kids with St. Nick for holiday cards or to showcase on the mantel, many families make posing for one an annual tradition.
Holiday Photo Style: Family Pajamas
Holiday photo shoots are notorious for matching jammies. If you're wondering where moms and dads find the soft sets made for family dressing, look no further. Check out this season's latest loungewear here.
Did You Take Growth Photos of Your Belly?
When Jennifer777 shared a beautiful photo album of her growing baby bump, I was taken aback by how neat it is to have a daily or weekly photo collection that shows how your body changes during pregnancy. Our Belly Worship group is filled with pics of pregnant moms-to-be, but usually it's just one photo at a time.
(If you did take lots of photos during your pregnancy you can share them in our Belly Worship group.)
