Funny baby pictures are priceless regardless of whether you used a professional quality digital camera or a disposable one.
We often see funny baby pictures in magazine contests and wonder why hasnt our baby done something like that? Chances are he probably has, more than once its just that you havent been ready to capture it.
Keep your camera with you
With the wide availability of digital cameras on the market today, theres hardly any excuse for not being able to take your camera with you.
Funny baby pictures happen when you least expect it. Hence, having your digital camera with you at all times, like when youre bathing your baby, feeding or traveling with him, is a must.
With the size and bulk of older cameras, its a wonder how we have so many baby pictures from when we were young. Theres really no good excuse we can give our kids later in life, when they wish wed taken all the funny baby pictures of them possible.
Learn how to anticipate funny baby picture moments
When is your child the happiest?
If its during bath time, then take your camera with you for a few candid shots with old pal rubber ducky.
If your child is an outdoorsy type, then forget the flash and just let him roll in the fall leaves or play in a sand box.
The trick to taking funny baby pictures is to anticipate happy moments but not to be shy of taking one too many. All you have to do is press a delete button if you dont like it.
If your baby is particularly friendly with a grandparent or a babysitter, try posing with them for some funny moments of wet kisses and drool filled hugs.
Add props and background music to motivate your child to do something different. Make faces with him and hell try to imitate you.
Dress him up in some over-sized dads clothing or a pair of round spectacles and enjoy the results.
You might have to cheat a bit
Of course there might be times when the baby does something funny and you dont have the digital camera with you.
Dont worry, you can cheat. Try to instigate the moment by replicating the circumstances. Chances are he might do it again and this time youll be ready. So, yes its not an original funny baby picture, but no one will ever find out.
Before you know it, youll be shooting children photography, so load up on those funny baby pictures while you still have the opportunity.
