#Camp DIY Day 11: Most Embarrassing Baby Photo Challenge

What can we use if we don't have a plain sheet, matching clothes, or a camera tripod listed in the instructions?

Use a solid-colored pillowcase or poster board as the plain sheet/background, pick similar-looking clothes or a stuffed animal for props from around the house, and substitute a tripod by propping the phone on a stable stack of books on a table as you follow the 'Pick a soft safe spot' and 'Ask an adult to set up a camera or phone on a stable surface' steps.

What should we do if our new photo doesn't match the old one or the phone keeps moving during the shoot?

Follow the 'Practice the pose and facial expression in a mirror' step to refine your look, then have an adult securely place the phone on a stable surface (or stack of books) and take several photos as instructed to adjust framing until it matches the old photo.

How can we adapt the challenge for younger children or for older kids who want more of a challenge?

For younger children, simplify by choosing an easy baby photo, letting a parent gather matching clothes and set up the camera and background and skip sharing, while older kids can recreate extra details, take many practice shots, and make the side-by-side collage and caption to share on DIY.org as described in the steps.

How can we extend or personalize the finished side-by-side collage beyond what's listed?

After making the side-by-side collage using a photo app or prints, personalize it by adding handwritten borders or stickers to the printed layout or applying matching filters and then include the short respectful caption naming who gave permission before sharing on DIY.org.
