photographs. You do not want to wake a baby just to get a picture. A baby who's, say, sleeping in an Easter basket can be a cute Easter photograph.[7] X Research source Make sure to turn the flash off and be very quiet while photographing a sleeping baby.

Take candid photos of your baby rifling through the basket and playing with toys. Have your baby hold eggs. Get

some plastic eggs from a grocery store or department store. Have your baby hold and play with the eggs while you take pictures.
