1. Canvas Photograph

Paint hand prints on a canvas and get the child/ren to hold it for the photo.

2. Holding Letters Photograph

Use letters are props for this photograph. You can use these types of props:

3. Feet Photograph

I saw this gorgeous feet photograph idea on The Orgnaised Housewife blog. It was a fun picture to take with the kids because they thought it was hilarious. The lighting wasn’t fantastic but we still managed to get a decent shot. I had quite a few feet to write on but you can adjust the message to suit.

Tips:

• Have the child/ren sit on the grass. The photographer should lie down on the grass to ensure the feet are in the forefront of the picture.
• Sit the children on a table with a tablecloth and crouch down to take the picture so the feet are in the forefront. Make sure you have the table where there is a nice background if possible.
