Is taking pictures one of your biggest hobbies? Then maybe instead of hiring professional photographers to cover your next baby shower, you can teach some people a thing or two by doing what not many people expect: taking pictures of the baby shower yourself! Now isn't that one of the best ways to save money ever? You're armed with your SLR camera and you're ready to give it a go! Are you finding yourself kind of lost? Not to worry! I'm by no means a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination but I've learned a few tips over the years from always being the designated the photographer at house parties, baby showers and little baptism parties.
If you want to make a good compilation of baby shower photos, you can follow these simple tips: It's a good idea to take pictures of the food, the venue, the decorations and the gifts.
These serve to show the actual extent of the preparations before the party absolutely sends everything into chaos.
It not only compliments the organizers to show pictures of their pristine arrangements but it also shows the mom-to-be to what lengths people went to give them an absolutely amazing baby shower.
If you're going to make group pictures, it's best for everyone to be huddled close together in order to make a great natural shot instead of using your camera's zoom capabilities to enhance a particular scene.
This actually works wonders, especially for particularly wacky and rowdy poses! And if you have trouble taking steady photos, you can always use tripods, remotes and timers.
All the equipment in the world may not compensate for skill, but they certainly help! And finally, be sure to take several pictures of the mother-to-be.
She's the star of the show and should be photographed from different attractive angles and with several different guests.
Once you get the hang of it, there's nothing to being the perfect event photographer!
