Tips if you need to take a photo for a baby; One, your baby's eyes must remain open. Two, background needs to be white, three, if the baby is less than 6 months old and can not lay on a white surface by itself, then you can take the baby and put it in its car seat. We suggest that you take a lot of different photos so that you can have a few to choose from.
