1. Choose the Right Spot

Look for a corner with good natural light—ideally near a window. Soft sunlight during mornings or evenings gives the most flattering effect, especially on your little one’s skin.

📝 Tip: If the window light is too harsh, soften it using a sheer curtain or a white bedsheet.

2. Set the Mood with a Backdrop

Transform one wall or use a portable stand to hang:

• Fairy lights or paper garlands

• A simple cloth in pastel colors

• Themed wallpapers (stars, clouds, forests)

• A DIY setup with your child’s artwork!

🎨 Let them help you decorate—it adds fun and gives them a sense of ownership!

3. Add Props that Spark Imagination

Use items already in the room:

• Stuffed animals, storybooks, pillows, or dress-up clothes

• A teepee tent, wooden toys, musical instruments

• Or even their favorite blanket fort!

Keep it minimal yet meaningful. Props should enhance, not distract.

4. Lighting Makes the Magic

While natural light is best, add a warm lamp or soft LED lights for cozy evening shoots. Fairy lights can act as both décor and soft illumination.

📸 Optional: Use a ring light if you have one—it adds a lovely glow to portraits!

5. Camera or Phone? Doesn’t Matter!

Use what you have. Modern smartphones have incredible cameras. Just:

• Clean the lens

• Use portrait mode

• Avoid using flash directly

• Take multiple shots from different angles

Pro tip: Shoot at your child’s eye level for the most natural perspective.
