Here is a guideline for age of the child:

Up to 12 weeks:
You have to take the precious baby as she is. Place the baby flat on its back on something low and shoot directly down. Focus your camera at the baby's head.

4 to 6 months:
Place the baby on her tummy and tickle her with a rattle. Slowly dangle the toyin front of the baby. The baby will respond and when the eyes follow... Snap a picture.

To get the baby to smile, use a piece of tissue paper and tickle their lips.

6 to 9 months:
This is a great age to get the baby playing with the feet. When the baby is on its tummy it can brace himself and will give you a great picture.

9 months to 1 year
This is a great time to play peak a boo and get a great picture. Create a game and throw a toy and they will throw one back. Its a great opportunity to get a great smile.
