Craft & process
How a photograph becomes a finished page, what the illustration process can and cannot do, and the practical things that make the difference between a child who looks almost right and a child who looks like themselves.
The best photo for a personalized book is not the most posed one. Soft, indirect light, a straight-on angle at your child's eye level, and an ordinary relaxed expression give an illustrator the most to work with. A squinting sunny-day photo or a wide open-mouthed grin gives them the least.
