    One Year Old

    I am doing pictures at a birthday party for a one year old. I wanted some ideas on poses, & must take pictures! Any Suggestions? It will be in a local park at the end of April!

    Focus on the eyes and get down to his/her level.

    Use a zoom lens and stay back from your subjects to make them feel more relaxed. Hope for a cloudy day or shot in the shade. I also agree with Frog

    Agree with Greg & Frog - telephoto lens, stand back and get down on their level. At that age they probably won't sit still for very long.

    Re: One Year Old

    I have to agree with Greg, Frog, and Cameron665. I have 8 children now 18 years and up and 1 grand child. For a one year old forget about poses. Just be ready to shot off hand. I hope that you have a camera with a fast response (a shutter delay and you WILL NOT get the shot!).
