I like the cropped head photo, because it’s balanced as it looks great/pleasing to the eye. Unlike accidentally cropped head photos. Lol.

Came back here through 7 Links today, and I just wanted to say (because I don’t think I did before) this post has helped me SO SO MUCH in taking better pictures of my daughter. I seriously thought my camera was broken until I started trying to use some of these methods, because my pictures were just always so terrible. I still need to teach others to use the camera well (eg I couldn’t run the camera in the delivery room when T was being born so we have LOTS of blurry shots of her being placed on my belly) but my every day shots have improved drastically due to this post. Thank you.

Following all your links today because we DID get a new DSLR. And I knew all these things once upon a time with my true and steady manual film camera by my side, but years of shooting digital P&S have ruined me.

Besides my unending gratitude over all the work you put into this series, I also offer you a pants tip (’cause I had to laugh at that “bending over” bit): If you purchased a maternity belly band, you can wear it after the baby as several extra inches of convenient cover for the pants situation. They sell similar bands specifically for low-rise pants, but rewearing your maternity band is basically the same deal. I’m 18 kinds of wreck in the months since our baby, but at least my backside has remained thoroughly covered (for once)!
