Photos of your child that work best

Face clearly visible
Eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera. Blurry or side-on photos lose the likeness.
Upper body in frame
Head and shoulders or more, so the video gets their outfit and proportions right.
Good light
Daylight or a bright room, without heavy filters.
Only your child
One child per photo, no one else in frame, and no one holding them.
