Have a wild costume?  Document the transformation through makeup, costume, etc. as you or your child are getting ready.  Keep the background simple so it doesn’t distract from your subject.  Maintain the same position in each photo for a fun slide show effect.  This will be easier to do if you place the camera on a tripod.  Tripods are also great if you are taking photos of yourself.  As usual, always shoot from your child’s height, not yours.

And remember to transform your photos from good to wow by having snapshots professionally retouched at FixMyPhotos.com. Or transform your photos into personalised art by selecting any number of artists’ styles at PhotoTownship.com. (Both are sister sites to ThePhotoArtBlog.)
