Birth & Renewal: A Photographers Profile

Jade Albert Grows by Keeping Her Style Baby-Fresh

Jade Albert

Albert can�t wait for the back-to-school, Halloween, and holiday seasons. The way she sees it, it�s just about time for her next evolution, and, without saying too much, the near future might involve taking her off on a tween tangent.

Tips for Photographing Tots

1. Best baby tip: keep it simple so they�re not scared.

2. Try to make it a gamE, so it�s play, not work. Make it like an adventure (because photographing kids is an adventure!).

3. Pay attention to their best times of day and schedule accordingly.

4. Work quickly�you can�t expect them to stay still for too long.

5. Be ready to capture their energy.

6. Use little distractions. Sometimes whistles or feathers help get the attention of young babies. This is especially helpful if you want eye contact.
