How to get babies to look at the camera.

  • Best tip I've ran across is to tell everyone to have everyone move away from behind the camera and so that you are the only one behind the camera.  You don't want the baby to look at other faces, just your camera. 
  • Have your camera mounted on a tripod and hooked up to a remote if possible (optional) you WILL get better shots.  However, this shot below was actually without a tripod, and the others not shown here were blurry. 
  • KEY: not pun intended :) then dangle your car keys above the camera and like magic the baby will look.  If for some crazy the baby does not look, then dangle the keys in front of their face to catch there attention first, then move back to the camera.  Works like a charm for me at least.
