If you have a friend or relative for whom you recently attended a baby shower, you may have taken any number of pictures. What's more, everyone there probably did the same. Wouldn’t it be great if you could put together a baby shower photo book to give to the dad or mom-to-be? Well, you can. Even better, it's quick and easy!

That said, you will likely want special, particular moments to not only be captured in a picture but included in the photo collection. If you know ahead of time what moments you want, you will be far better off. You can plan for those particular shots.

 Here are some suggestions as to how to prepare for a baby shower photo book.

Surprise!

Of course, you want a picture of the mother to be as she walks in the room and is pleasantly startled by her friends and family jumping out to surprise her with the baby shower. If the shower was planned with her knowledge, you can still have a photo of her entering the room.

Gift Opening

Hopefully there will be lots of gifts involved. You’ll want to make sure pictures are taken of each gift as the mother-to-be opens them.

Dad and Mom

This is optional but, if possible and if everyone is in agreement, whether the father-to-be pops in before the shower or after, you may want a picture of the soon to be parents together in and amongst all of the shower decorations.

Just Mom

Some mothers-to-be aren't excited about getting their picture taken, but many are in full agreement. If they are having problems with body image, do the best you can to take a flattering shot and get it okayed by them before you move on.

Sequence Shots

To every event, there is a beginning, middle, and end. Sequence your shots so you can better follow the story when you're putting the photo book together. Try not to jump around.

Lighting

If at all possible, natural lighting usually works better than a flash. You may not be able to avoid using the flash, however. Try to put as much light in the room in general, so the flash will only be used if absolutely necessary.
