Tip #1: Use a white plastic bag over your camera's flash to diffuse the light. Yes, you can buy a magnificent external flash, but this post is for the everyday

Using the Camera's Flash (YUCK!) |
Using a white plastic bag over the camera's flash. Isn't she cute!? |
Outside in the shade without anything |
The white board is held at her waist angled to reflect the light up towards her face. Can you tell she's getting a little silly at this point? |
Remember, these tips can be used to help illuminate your artwork too. Although I prefer natural light, I will often use to plastic bag technique if I need to take a quick picture of a card or scrapbook layout at night. Stay tuned for more pictures and tips!

Thank you (and your daughter) for the hints.
These are great tips! I haven't heard of the plastic bag one!I am following you for the next installment! I use a piece of white foam core board folded in half to photograph my artwork on. Right in front of the window. Then use Picmonkey to edit, crop and resize!
I got a tip from a professional photographer and he said to use wax paper it's better than the plastic bag. You should try and send out results.
