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 and 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 here 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- jing robe. He will be reclining of course on a comfortable pillow with a simple lace or embroider- led edge.

Both the robe and the pillow case should be carried to the photographers and put on there. (Tnis will obviate creases and save "touching up" which al- ways takes character and crisp-i 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-

blue and makelightful study.

It is well to remember that "warm": colours photograph dark; reds invariably reproduco black, yellows too come out in solid tones. White, of course, is the ideal light colour, and pastel blues or greys also reproduce white.
