Simple tips of taking good shot of children with any camera is to "GET CLOSER". Moving closer eliminates all the distracting elements in the background and show a more intimate picture of your subject.
I took her advice and over the weekend tried to shoot some close up photos of Zara, and yes, the result is amazing.
Zara's hand in mine.
Our feet. I like the shot Dinah took with Ashley. Here's my version.
Zara sucking on her thumb in her cot early Sunday morning.
Zara staring at the TV, watching her favourite VCD, Wheels On the Bus
Still staring at the TV.
Here she is, playing with the toys on her walker.
just don't get too close until you blind her with all the flashes :P
