The beach is a terrific place for picture of your kids. What with the blue sky and water, soft sand, and cute outfits you have literally the perfect scene. Even if you don’t lug your DSLR to the beach, consider grabbing your phone to take some shots – with these tips from TechView you’ll likely end up with a few that you really love.

Bonus Tip: A partly cloudy day is the best for beach photography – as the clouds will not only make for a more interesting background, but will also offer some much-needed shade so your kids don’t end up squinting at the camera. However, for straight sunny days you can always add in fun props, such as an umbrella or big hats.

Now grab some shovels, a blanket, and some sunscreen!
