Some tips:

-If you hang up a sheet (or whatever) for a background, keep your child at least 5 feet in front of it. You don't want to put them smack up against it.

-Try sitting your child right next to a window. (Don't use one that has the sunlight coming through.) Be sure to turn off the flash on your camera! Try different angles. (Have them look towards the light...have them look towards the camera etc.)

-Go outside! Just be sure to look to see what is in the background. A cluttered background will detract from your subject. Don't let trees grow out of their heads or sidewalks run into their ears etc.

-Remember that they don't have to be staring at the camera and saying, "cheese".

-Try not to use your flash. The on-board flash tends to make a picture look flat.
