How to Take Better Photos of Your Kid

If you have the time, place the sign in a photo frame or on a clipboard for the child to hold for an added touch.

Below are a few more tips for capturing the perfect first-day-of-school photo:

Snap the photo in a well-light area. Natural light is best, so head outside or near an uncovered window for the shot.
Wipe your camera lens just before your snap the money shot. Seriously, it makes a world of difference.
Candids may be your best option. If your child refuses to look at the camera and say cheese, don’t stress. Snap the photo anyway. You’ll capture the child’s natural expression.
Get down on their level. For younger children, you may need to bend to get down to their eye level. This will help you better capture a photo of them.
No clutter. Snap your photo in a clutter-free area. You want to avoid having too much going on in the background. If you have a garage door, it is a great option for taking photos, as the garage can act as a solid backdrop.
