Love them. Yes, all children need to be loved, but Scorpio children need to be loved at such a deep personal connected level. The worse thing you can do to a Scorpio child is to ignore them. They feel emotionally abandoned and never really learn to trust anyone again. You absolutely must make sure that your Scorpio child knows that you love them. Touch them with purpose. They need parents that are fully present paying attention to them. They are high maintenance children until they are convinced that they are loved unconditionally, then they become extremely self-reliant. They need to hear you tell them that you recognize them as incredible souls that they are. They need to be taken seriously. Don't laugh off dreams of a Scorpio child. You will crush their spirits and once they're crushed, they're cursed. Hug them with strength. Love them with your entire being. Really listen to them when they talk to you. They are incredibly wise old souls from day they are born. They probably know you better then you know yourself. Acknowledge them and their incredible minds.

Share with them. They must believe at very deepest core of their being that it's safe to share their hearts. They feel abandoned if you only offer them superficial conversation and light fluffy family dynamics. They need meat and potatoes kind of parenting. Talk to them openly. Tell them your thoughts. Role model open communications and how beneficial it is when trying to deeply connect with another. Scorpios only become sneaking and secretive as a way of self-protection. Show them that by openly sharing one's thoughts, feelings, and love that real connection is achieved. They hunger for that deep connection. Show them positive ways to get it.

We can't help it! Babies are such beautiful creatures that you want to capture every new movement and every fleeting smile that comes along. (Even if that smile is attached to a smelly gas bubble!)

However problem many parents have is that their lack of good photography skills can translate into pictures that are too dark, too bright, blurry, out of focus, uncentered, and so on. Perhaps this describes you.

If so, don't sweat it. These problems are easily fixable. An album full of mishaps can quickly be transformed by following these 4 tips...

1) When taking pictures of babies lying on their backs, stand directly over them and shoot straight down.

I used to take a solid color baby blanket and place it on floor in a bright, sun filled room. When I was ready to take a picture I would put Layla on blanket, and adjust it around her, making sure not to put her directly in sunlight. Then I'd get on my knees right over her, aim straight down and snap away.

This technique will allow you to center camera properly and you'll get some great close-up shots. The natural sunlight will often give you just enough light so your picture isn't too dark or too bright.

2) Capture a range of emotions.

Smiling babies are cute. But so are crying babies and pouting babies and messy babies and sleeping babies.
