BABY'S
FIRST
PHOTO
HOW many times have
mothers been bitterly disappointed with baby's first picture, blaming the photographer for not hav- ing "caught" baby. Even with mothers of families it is astonishing how few have that "picture sense" which will adequately portray baby.
Usually the average mother sees and likes a certain study jand decides to have her child taken that way, entirely forget- ting that baby may not be that type.
It is impossible to generalise as opinions differ so vastly, but There are one or two reliable sug- gestions which may prove help- ful.
If baby is very young he takes the best picture in his christen- ing robe. He will be reclining of course on a comfortable pillow with a simple lace or embroider- ed edge.
Both the robe and the pillow case should be carried to the photographers and put on there. This will obviate creases and save "touching up" which al- ways takes character and crisp- ness away from a picture.
When baby is over a year old he has distinct characteristics. These should give you the key to his picture and lead to a de- lightful study.
On no account "dress him up" for the occasion, but just pack up favourite toys and take him along in an everyday play suit. TO MAKE A NATURAL PICTURE
Let him play naturally on the studio table, catch his attention once or twice and the photographer will have the opportunity of achieving ideal "shots." Thus you will have Пу you indelible records of baby knew him..
It is well to remember that +"warm" colours photograph dark: reds invariably reproduce black, yellows too come out in solid tones. White, of course, is the Ideal Hght colour, and pastel blues or greys also reproduce white.
If baby is a chubby six-monthor, don't have him taken without any clothes on. Remember he will grow up and look askance at his small naked self adorning the piano top. Taking into consideration thene amall pointa a successful first port. broidery which forms a "y" at the ralt should be achieved. If, how- back of the shoulder.
