The safe way to shoot it leaves a hand in the frame
A toddler next to a newborn is photographed with a parent's hand inches away, as it should be. In this frame the big sister is kissing her brother's forehead and the moment is real, but the parent's arm reaches in from the right. There is a pacifier and a cloth on the bed, a stain on the duvet, and the baby's face is red. The whites are gray.
Who uses this
- Newborn and family photographers who always shoot with a spotter
- Studios finishing sibling frames for wall prints
- Parents who love the one frame where the toddler cooperated
How the edit is handled
A human editor removes the arm and hand and rebuilds the swaddle and bedding behind them, then clears the pacifier, the cloth and the stain and smooths the duvet.
The baby's redness is evened, with skin texture kept on both children, and her hair is left exactly as shot. The frame is brightened to a clean, airy white with warm skin tones. Both children's features and the pose are kept as shot.
What to upload
Send the frame. If a second frame shows the swaddle without the hand, add it, because it gives us the real fabric to work from. If we use the fabric from that frame in the finished image, it counts as a photo to edit too, so 1 more credit. A frame we only look at is free.
