The similarity of poses and the fact that kids tend to do the same sorts of things, in general, mean that it\u2019s very difficult to get their true individual spirit to come out in a still photo. Your photos certainly look wonderful to you, because they\u2019re your kids, but others don\u2019t seem too moved by them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d.jpg\" alt=\"With photo canvas you can highlight every moment of your child's life.\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d-262x174.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d-524x349.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-d-574x382.jpg 574w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The trick is to get your kids into unusual photos so that even people who aren\u2019t terribly familiar with their personalities have a chance to be wowed by them. Here are a few simple ideas for taking photos of your children and making them into the sort of photo canvas pieces that jump out at people and make them notice.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Idea 1: A Photoshopped Photo Canvas <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1124\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e.jpg\" alt=\"Why not try a photoshopped photo canvas for your next idea?\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e-262x174.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e-524x348.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-e-574x381.jpg 574w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century \u2013 let\u2019s not be limited by the actual places your kids can go. Years ago you could pay a company to print out short books with favourite children\u2019s book characters going through a story where your child was the main character, and kids loved it. Now you can go one step further by Photoshopping your child into any fantastic world you wish. A film, a TV show, a book, a cartoon \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter. A few clicks on the computer and you have a child\u2019s portrait where their imagination is the background.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Idea 2: Macro Photos on Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Macro photography is the art of getting extremely close and magnified \u2013 and there\u2019s no reason it can\u2019t be used on your kids to get some incredibly unique shots. A close up photo canvas of an eye with those incredibly long baby lashes, a baby\u2019s toes, or any other tiny detail that you think is representative in some way of your children\u2019s personalities and <em>presence<\/em> will work just fine. Create a collage of macro-inspired shots to paint a picture of your kids more thoroughly than any single image could possibly ever achieve, and you have an art installation that will really wow people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f.jpg\" alt=\"Macro photos of kids make fantastic photo canvas ideas.\" width=\"650\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f-600x329.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f-262x143.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f-524x287.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Week-53-f-574x315.jpg 574w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Idea 3: Cut Loose<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/43a7183y5zx2q5qg935lc2o59l.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Domonique-dining.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s an example<\/a> of a print on the wall that immediately diffuses tension and makes people relax. Note how it doesn\u2019t take it self seriously at all, yet welcomes people in and dresses up the space?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what photos of your kids can do. Let them be silly! Make faces, stick out tongues, be goofy. The goofier, in fact, the better. Then do some simple dress up with black and white filters or other tricks, and turn these goofy moments into bespoke images for your walls that class up the place while also telling guests that this is a fuss-free zone where they\u2019re free to relax, forget the rules, and simply enjoy themselves.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll probably have a ton more ideas now that\u2019s we\u2019ve got you started \u2013 and when you do, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canvasprintersonline.com.au\/wall-art\">click here and we\u2019d be delighted to turn your unusual, unique, and super cool photos of your kids into wall art no one will ever forget.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s face it: As cute as your children are \u2013 and we bet they\u2019re adorable \u2013 when you take photos of them they probably look just like everyone else\u2019s kids, to a certain extent.
