Baby Photo Frames With New Images Of Your Baby

After you make your decision on the type of baby photo frames you want, you can always add your own special touches to the frames to make them your own. For example, if you take pictures of your child's first time at the beach, you can decorate the baby photo frames with sand or shells.

If you take pictures of your child's baptism, the white satin ribbons or accents go very well with the wooden frame of your choice.

You can look through the frames in a photo studio and look at the borders and shapes, with gold or silver accents. Alternatively you may like a classic look to pictures of your baby, with frames which are completely covered with metallic colors, highlighting the display of black and white photographs.

Tips And Ideas For Professional Baby Photos

If you take professional baby photos when your baby is smaller, you may want to wait until your child is between 9 and 12 months before taking another picture. This way, your little one is able to pull herself up and may be able to take a few pictures of your toddler standing upright.

A baby grows very quickly and you need to take images of your child so that you can look back from the time your baby is born to the time they becomes an adult. Taking better quality images of your baby, means you have to think about how you want your baby to be presented in the images your create.

Another option you want to consider. Do you want your spouse and your other children to be in some of the pictures with your baby? Next, you may need to think about where you want the images taken. You can take these photos at home, or hire a studio.

Design Ideas For A Baby Picture Frame

Once you know the design and specifics for your baby picture frame, then you can start with a solid frame, and add your own personal design to make the frame unique.

For example, if you buy an oak frame, you can tie a bright pink or blue ribbon around the corner of the frame, depending on the sex of your baby. Alternatively, you can use pastel colors such as yellow or green to coordinate with your little girl room, or use blue and red for a boy.

Wrapping ribbon along the edge of the frame, using two contrasting colors will make a frame stand out while drawing attention to the image.

A good idea is to find a metal baby picture frame that you can adapt by taking it to an engraving artist. You can be creative and add strings of pearls along the metal frame and different colors of lace, to compliment the gold or silver frames.

Another option is to add information about the child along the bottom of the frame. You may include birth, height and weight, as well as the child’s full name and birthday.

Baby Photo Contests And How To Please The Judges

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.

Celebrity Baby Photos And Maintaining Privacy Of The Newborn

When questioned about the ethics of putting a monetary value on pictures of their kids, the couple insisted that selling their celebrity baby photos was the right thing to do so that they could help other children in need.

Whether you're for or against celebrity baby photos, there's no arguing that they are big business. However, is it ethical to offer pictures of your baby to the highest bidder? Some say it's a noble thing if the money is donated to charity. Others believe it's an evil that doesn't justify the means. Even celebrities are split on the issue.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman recently turned down a deal for millions of dollars for pictures of their newborn daughter. As in any family, the decision ultimately comes down to the parents.
