Submit Your
Child Portraits

Every parent takes child portraits, but the REAL QUESTION is "How many of us take pictures of our children that we're truly proud of?" (the picture, not the child).

There are several ways of learning how to improve this skill. The one we're focusing on here is Learning by Example. By sharing your best pictures with others, everyone gets to see something they would not have thought of by themselves.

And that's the entire point... to get ideas for poses and techniques that others have used. Plus, you can provide feedback to those who have submitted photos.

June's Winning CHILD PICTURE This is Lou's son, the most charismatic teenager in Kansas Vikes is a masterful blend of emotion, artistry, creativity, and photographic excellence. Phenomenal Job, Lou! We're now looking for July's Featured Child to be show-cased on this page, so submit your child's picture right here! The winning picture won't be selected until the beginning of July, so send them in, and who knows... your child might just get their start in movies from this page!

Share this month's winner with the world and we can all help make them famous!

We are developing a community interested in helping everyone create better pictures of children. Submit your best child pictures and inspire others. And if you're looking for sample poses that work, bookmark this page.

When you share your best child pictures, please include any tips, techniques, and thoughts so others can learn from you. And when viewing submissions, kindly add comments that will help others.

Since only ONE photo per page is allowed, feel free to add more than one page (at one photo per).
