Photography Tip

 

Ready to add a photo of your precious bundle of joy to the family tree? Here’s a good tip: when you’re taking portrait-style shots, clear out the clutter and opt for a neutral, basic background. You can place the baby on a soft white or cream sheet or blanket draped over his boppy pillow or laid out on a bed. Learn more on our article on how to photograph babies.

 

Artwork Idea

 

Want a way to bring the family closer together? Then why not use your scanned-in photos to create a digital family tree with photos from relative’s weddings, baby photos, graduation pics and more. To get started building out an online tree today—that also has ties into online genealogy—then check out MyHertiage.com.
