Get On Your Knees, Crouch, Crawl

Get on the same level with your child. Don’t make her look like a dwarf When you get on the ground you’ll most likely catch the attention of your target. Not to mention more interesting shoots you will get.

Try continous shooting mode. Toddlers tend to move around quite fast and it’s often matter of a fraction of a second whether you capture the moment or not.

Photographing While Playing

Let the children play! You’ll get the best shots when she is enjoying what she does. Obvious? Could be, but worth mentioning Take the photos while she’s doing something that she really likes.

• Ask your child to show you her favourite toys. Let her play with them. Ask her to introduce her most precious toy to another adult while you’re taking shots.
• Take her out to play. Go to the park. Take a few photos while she’s swinging and sliding down a slide.
• Ask her to jump off a bench, somersault on the ground, run towards the camera, etc. Let her express her personality!

Have Some Fun

As Darren Rowse wrote about photographing children:

The key to good kid shots is to rediscover your own inner child. Kids love to have fun, they do the unexpected, they love to experiment and test things out and they love to play. Approach photographing them in this spirit and you’ll find your pictures take on a wonderful childlike quality.

Choose the Best Shots

As always, remember to pick the best shots right after transferring the photos to you computer. The less you have, the better. Try to eliminate 90% of the shots immediately. It’s tempting to include yet another photo to the album. You’ll thank yourself later for doing the elimination. Trust me! You’ll probably take hundreds or thousands of photos of your child during the first years. It’s a mess to later find the good shots.

There’s a good article on Phototuts+ on how to choose your best photos in a series. Section 3. has a nice example on narrowing down any group of pictures if you wan’t to quickly skim the best parts.

Share Some Fun

After you’ve had some fun photographing your beloved toddler and chosen the best shots it’s time to let the close ones to enjoy the photos as well. Write a heartwarming stories behind the photos and share them privately with family and friends.

Photos On a Timeline

We brought more visualization on the timeline. If there are photos attached to an event, a thumbnail of a photo is shown next to the event on the timeline. We really love this! I hope you do too

Being the Boss Of the Family

As a parent, you can now manage the family and friends even more precisely than before. You have the possibility to remove friends from seeing your child’s events, more closely manage family relationships and even remove your child from Intoloop Kids.

Be Gone My Friend

Did he say you were ugly? Or even worse, called your child names? Get rid of him. Just click the cute edit switch on your child’s page and remove that rude friend.

Removing a Child? That’s Just Cruel

Did you accidentally create too many pages for your children? Now you can get rid of them. Go ahead and click edit on your profile page to see the extra buttons. Just be really really careful not to remove your actual children. They might not like it

If for some bizarre reason you were invited to follow the life of a child you’re not really that interested in, stop following it! It’s only one click away.

Family Relationships

Grandpa doesn’t like to be called just a general grand parent. Neither does godmother want to be called a god parent. We like to bring joy and happiness to people! That’s why from now on, grandfather is a grandfather and godmother is a godmother.

Easy Moving Between Events

I’m with you. I know your wrists are getting tired of scrolling the timeline all day long. We decided to give your wrist a well earned rest and brought you arrows! Yep, arrows! Unbelievable, I hear you say Not one, not two, but four arrow buttons that you just can’t stop clicking.

By clicking an arrow button on both edges of the timeline you can easily scroll in more events. Arrows become visible if there are more events that aren’t currently visible.

Moving to next and previous event has never been this easy! Just flip yourself into browsing mode and you can easily browse through a bunch of events. There are huge clickable arrow buttons on each side of the event indicating whether there are more events to browse on that side. Go ahead and try it out!

Adding an Event

We returned to the old (although a lot improved) way of adding a new event. The previous way caused some confusion and we agree that it wasn’t probably the best way for doing this. So here they are, the ‘Save’ and ‘Cancel’ buttons are back!

Many Many Many Children

Tabs / quick links on the top of the page are now scrollable. If you’ve been so lucky that you have more than five children in your life, all of them can be easily accessed via quick links. None of them are missing anymore!

Invite Existing Users

Previously it was possible to invite new users only to see what’s going on in your child’s life. Now we made a huge improvement and made it possible to invite all the friends and relatives (existing users or completely new) to share the joy of your children
