Baby Photo Contests And How To Please The Judges

If you think your child ought to be in pictures, then baby photo contests are a good way to break into the modeling business. However, it's not as simple as just sending in your favorite snapshot.

Judges, particularly those from ad agencies, are looking for specific characteristics in winning entries. In this article, we'll show you how to highlight your child's adorable features to give you the edge in photo competitions.

Patience is key when photographing babies. They won't deliver that contest winning smile on cue so you have to be ready when it does come. That can mean spending a lot of time looking through the lens of your camera, so make the setting comfortable and adaptable for your baby.

The best location for taking pictures is your own home, but if you choose another location, then be well prepared. Having your baby's favorite toy or blanket on hand can come handy while taking pictures.

It's critical for your baby to be the focus of the photo, so keep backgrounds and clothing simple. You may be tempted to surround them with stuffed animals or dress them in frilly clothes, but judges of a baby photo contest, such as a Gerber baby contest, may find that distracting.

Keep the environment attractive but simple and let the expression on your baby's adorable face do the talking.
