Good Backgrounds Make Good Photos

When you take a photo, don't just make sure the person is smiling and looks good. Make sure you have a nice background. A simple background works best, be it a plain white wall or a dark green couch, or even your full length curtains. Outside, you can use a tall green bush or a flowering hydrangea, or even the side of your house. If you think about not only your subject matter, but also your background, you'll get the very best pictures! If you don't have digital software, you can ruin a perfectly good photo by just having something as simple as an electric outlet in the picture!

We were taking pictures of my sil's baby neice so we took their beautiful bedspread off their bed and used it as a back drop for her pictures. We had a friend come over with her brand new baby and my sil had a victorian bassinet that came with a porcelan doll and she put the baby in it with a gorgeous baby blanket and the pictures were worthy of hanging.
