If you are a parent, your computer is sure to be full of photos of your children. It is completely natural to have that urge to click everything they do. Their activities inspire you to take out your camera or smartphone to capture it right there.

Making a photo collage of the many photos you have of your child, or children, is a good way of not only organizing those photos, but also and easy way to share photos. A lot of good photos on a single page is also a nice stepping stone to making a greeting card or printing it and getting it framed.

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you make a photo collage of your kid’s pictures:

1. Gather pictures of your kid/kids which tell a story or are just plain adorable to look at. Cuteness factor should be high in those photos otherwise the photo collage would look like a pretty boring one. Edit all the photos before you start making the collage.

2. Shortlist 5-6 photos. Try not to repeat any pose, background or costume. Variety in photos will make it more interesting and appealing. Select at least one photo of which a cut-out can be made, maybe a clean photo of your baby while crawling, or dressed up on Halloween.

3. Use a photo collage software or an online service and start making the collage. Import all photos and select a good layout which suits your requirement. Make sure that all your photos are accommodated perfectly and the background of the collage works well with kid’s theme.

4. You can take add titles, messages, dates, captions and other fun things to the photo collage. However, keep the text part of the collage to a minimum.

5. Get a print and flaunt it in your mommy’s group. Or simply share it on a social networking site to get the “Awwws” going.
