   Taking pictures of kids from your home. Pretty easy if you have patience for the children. you can use a throw blanket blue, green,black, red. Simple Colors. Let the kids be kids don't get upset if they are not looking where you want or sitting how you want. The best pictures are those that bring the persons personality and shine out in color. You can buy backgrounds if you don't like the look of a blanket ( keep in mind that black and white or Sepia pictures turn out good with a blanket. Try and get the kids in a light color outfit.) here is a website you can get backgrounds from. http://www.aurabackdrops.com/
   - Using a black Blanket (throw blankets work best) you can also just get a face shot. use 2 if you have too wrap one around child get close up of face and turn it into a black and whit picture.
   - Using light from the outside make sure child is facing window with blinds open hold one hand up away from your face and the camera's face try to get their attention and snap picture while they are looking at your hand toward the window.
   - Using props is easy in your own home. Your child has one toy they LOVE you might want to capture the love between the child and that toy.
   - Take Pictures of the laugh. That is a beautiful picture.
   - Take them outside get them sitting by anything green. Close to sunset is the best time to take them outside.
   - In the house use bubbles get pictures of them while trying to grab the bubble its the best!

   OK now to the cropping this is fun and easy. http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php
   Don't worry if your picture don't look how you expected it too. use the photo cropping tools you have and touch it up. In time you will get better. You can ask me more questions or you can do more research. I am adding a picture of my own it was taken in UTAH
