would you during or just after childbirth photos, and then you better not fire. Set your camera so in a high ISO value, e.g. 800. You can then also in darker spaces shooting without flash.
Zoom lens

You can change the baby or toddler more or less unnoticed while observing and photographing them absorbed in their game.
Eyes sharp
if you take a picture at close distances or zooming in a certain way, not all parts of the image sharp. That does not matter and it is often just more fun. However, make sure that the baby's eyes are always sharp.
The same height

Camera in hand

Backlight
