An ideal photo for a printed photo announcement is:
- Well lit
- A close up of babies' faces
- A solid white or light colored back ground (a sheet is fine or drape a blanket behind baby)
- Try to lay babies in a natural position on side or tummy with heads
together OR prop them up with pillows and lean comfortably
- Get at an angle where both babies are "looking" at you (from the
front -- if you can see up your baby's nose, change your angle!) :)
- A good setup is to put a light (solid, if possible), colored blanket on
your couch, over some pillows. Lean the babies, close to a sitting pose, with
their bodies and heads close together. Zoom in so you're getting their
tummies, up. Be sure to leave room around their heads for the printer to fade
the edges.
