Let’s all be honest. Babies are hard to photograph. They make strange faces and don’t ever look at the camera. It is just difficult to get the real expression of babies through photography. I have more “bad” pictures during those early weeks than I have good ones. It is just the facts.
Well, bad baby pictures are a thing of the past now thanks to ShutterBuddy. It is a known fact that babies prefer black and white at a very young age. You will find toys for infants in red/black/white because it draws their attention. ShutterBuddy uses this knowledge to help you!
Simply place the ShutterBuddy around your camera lens, fasten the velcro and shoot away. Your baby will be intrigued by the ShutterBuddy and you will get a really fantastic, real expression picture.
We were sent a ShutterBuddy to review. I love this idea! It works fantastic on my Fuji Digital camera. I had some trouble to get it over my HUGE DSLR lens but it did work on the smaller one with no difficulty. I am very impressed with the design and, more so that it gets attention of little ones. Honestly, Johnny was even interested because it was something different. If you have a toddler, you know that they are sometimes difficult to photograph too. Well, I had little problems with that because of the ShutterBuddy. I was also impressed with the ShutterBuddy because it folds up easily for storage or to take along with you for your photo shoots! The only thing you need to be careful of is that your flash is clear. Other than that, there is nothing necessary to use the ShutterBuddy!
Would you like to buy a ShutterBuddy? For only $19.99, you can’t beat it! Think of all the money you could save on professional photos by getting great photos right at home!

This would be great for my toddler who turns away from the camera everytime he sees it. I think I have taken so many pictures that I've traumatized him. lol 🙂

Actually, I think the ShutterBuddy would be helpful for when I am taking pictures of my handmade crafts. I always have a difficult time with the lighting and shadows.
Thanks

I love setting up photo shoots right in our living room! But yes, it is getting harder as the kids are getting older. I have a three year old and an 11 month old. They make it a challenge to try to capture a good photo of the two of them!
Annie says
My baby boy is great with the camera so far, but my 2 year old refuses to look at the camera. I think this would help me get a few good photos of her! what a great idea!
