pink_digital_camera2We all agree that including pictures on our blogs is important, right? So what can we do to make those pictures look professional?

First, apply these 5 photography tips and tricks:

  1. Fill the frame with the object or person you want people to look at.
  2. Try a different vantage point by standing on a stool or kneeling on the floor.
  3. Be aware of how the background looks (ESPECIALLY when taking pictures with a kitchen counter nearby!!)
  4. Take multiple shots from various angles.
  5. Try different amounts of lighting for the same shot.
