It has been becoming increasing more common that families are choosing not to share their baby’s face on social media. It is my job to protect your privacy but also give you photos you can still share on social media if you want to!
Sharing moments of your children’s lives on social media without showing their faces is a great way to maintain their privacy while still sharing memories with friends and family. Here are some creative ways to share those precious moments:
1. Capture the Details
Focus on capturing small, intimate details rather than full faces. Think of little hands holding a favorite toy, tiny feet in cute shoes, or close-ups of their hair.
2. Use Creative Angles
Photograph from behind or at an angle where their face isn’t fully visible. Shots from above, where they’re looking down at a book or playing, work well too.
3. Emphasize the Surroundings
Highlight the environment your child is in, whether it’s a beautiful park, a cozy room, or a festive event. Let the background tell the story.
4. Use Silhouettes
Take photos during sunrise or sunset to create stunning silhouettes. This technique hides facial features while still capturing beautiful moments.
5. Capture Over-the-Shoulder Shots
Taking photos over your child’s shoulder can capture their perspective and the activity they’re engaged in without showing their face.
6. Blur or Mask Faces
Use photo editing tools to blur or put fun stickers over your child’s face. This can add a playful element to your posts.
7. Use Props
Incorporate props that can partially or fully cover your child’s face, like hats, sunglasses, or toys.
8. Focus on Interactions
Capture moments where your child is interacting with family members, pets, or friends. These photos can highlight relationships without showing their face.
9. Highlight Activities
Show your child engaged in activities like drawing, baking, or playing sports, focusing on what they’re doing rather than their face.
10. Use Reflections
Take photos of your child’s reflection in water, mirrors, or windows. This artistic approach can obscure their face while still showing their presence.
By using these techniques, you can share the joy and love of your family moments while keeping your child’s identity private. It allows you to engage with your social media audience creatively and safely.
