1) Light light light, always remember light is the most important element in a picture. Place your kids close to a window, or under the day light. Limit use of flash. I never use flash. I don't like the white out effect.
2) When take pictures for a newborn, remember to remove the mess behind, burp clothes, diaper cream, an unwanted hand... place your newborn on a pretty blanket, preferrably a knitted one. If your newborn is hairless, find a nice cap, again, knitted. A simple magic, find a piece of black fleece blanket place under the baby, or wear black long sleeve when you hold your newborn. Under a good light source, you'll get a "studio like" picture. You'll be amazed how simple things change the look of your picture, if you follow my steps. Let your newborn facing the window light. Their eyes will shine.
3) When you take pictures for your kids, dress them a little bit of different from your usual style, try something look funkish and modern. Try polka dot, stripes, colors.. wrap a shawl around your daughter's shoulder, try a colorful vest for your
boy. And you'll get a surprise in the end. If you always dress your girl in classic pink clothes, try the piggy tails and raspberry color. And get the navy color out. They don't look nice on pictures. For boys, I would do orange, red, and bright green tops with jeans. Clothes is very very important, but don't just dress your kids up, find something casual and fit their personalities.
