Haha good question! My reply is based on a baby who can sit upright. I realised that my baby looks somewhat diff when she lies down vs sitting upright. Her seated upright facial features are more flattering than when she is lying down. Then i find a white wall (just nice this is in her room, so i prop her up on a pillow and she sits upright leaning against the white wall. make sure you take the photo during daylight (let as much natural light come in, turn on all the lights in the room so no shadow casted downwards). If your baby is fair, ensure you dress your baby in a top that is in a darker/ more contradicting shade. My hubby made a good point to note that i shd let my girl wear something with collar (rather than sleeveless or round neck), reason being when you have to edit / crop photo using ICA web tool, you might need to crop off too much of the lower half below neck, so photo may look too skimpy somehow. then use your mobile phone's burst mode to snap as many shots as possible. later than slowly delete / filter the pics. trust me it may take a few tries. so i took her pics on 3 sep occasions in diff tops. just to have more samples to choose from. ;)
