Hi everyone! It's Marla here and I'm going to be sharing a few photography tips to improve your scrapbook pages.
When I'm taking pictures, I try to keep the final goal in mind. I like to do a lot of spreads with multiple pictures. One side will have a single picture- with lots more elements and the other side is usually a simple pocket page with several pictures. I like to print photo books that have matching pages on both sides.
1.) Know when to overshoot.
Usually, I try not to get too carried away. On this day, I was shooting pictures of my baby boy right after he had learned to walk. He moves fast and often makes silly faces, so I usually overshot when he's doing something I want to capture.
If this was a picture of a landscape, I would have taken two or three shots and called it good. Since it was mobile Teddy, I shot A LOT more pictures. I can always delete the bad, blurry pictures later.
2.) Remember to take both landscape and portrait pictures.
I'm guilty of shooting mostly landscape pictures, but when I'm in "photo shoot" mode, I always try to take portrait shots, too. They work better for 3x4 photo spots in pocket pages!
3.) Take detail shots.
Don't be afraid to take a few close up pictures, get low on the ground, and change your prospective.
I hope I always remember how much I loved his little moccasins! Totally photo worthy!
After editing these pictures, I had to make a cute layout to document my little guy on the move!
Of course, I also made a matching page for the other side of the spread, but you will have to check my social media page for that one later in the week!
