Take better photos of your kids’ handmade clothes!
Ever since I started blogging, I have become more interested in photography. I want to be able to take great pictures of my kids and the things I make for them. Alida of Alida Makes just came out with an e-book called Style That Kid! that is all about doing just that.
When Alida offered me a chance to review her e-book, I knew I could trust what she had to say — because her photography is ah-MAY-zing! After a quick read of her book (yes!! you can read the entire book while sipping your morning coffee!), I put Alida’s suggestions to work.
Yesterday, I posted about the Oakley Shorts I sewed for my youngest. The first time I took photos of these shorts, I wasn’t happy with how they turned out. But a slight change in styling offered a big improvement!
The two sets of photos were taken in the same location (my backyard) and with the same adorable baby, but at different times of the day.
Alida’s e-book gives great tips on how to easily amp up your styling and overall aesthetic of your photos, letting your little one and your handmade clothing really shine.
One thing I love about the Style That Kid e-book is that I didn’t feel overwhelmed. Because I don’t know a lot about photography, I can easily get bogged down with technical terms that I don’t always understand or don’t know how to apply to my real life picture taking. That wasn’t the case at all here – I felt like I could take what I read and use it right away to improve my photos.
Not only are Alida’s tips helpful for any blogger or etsy shop owner who wants to improve their photography, I know that the tricks I learned in the e-book will make a difference as I take every day pictures of my kids too.
I know I’m going to go back and re-read Alida’s ideas and suggestions more than once!
