Many people naturally place their subject in the center of the frame. This prompt explores what happens when you gently shift that instinct.
It’s not about rules — it’s about balance.
Place your child slightly off-center in the frame. Use the grid on your phone screen to help guide you if it’s available.
Placing your subject off-center creates visual breathing room. It allows the eye to move through the image more comfortably and often makes a photo feel calmer and more natural.
This simple shift can change how a moment feels without changing the moment itself.
A Gentle Tip
Try positioning your child along one of the vertical grid lines rather than directly in the middle.
A Quiet Reminder
Centered photos aren’t wrong.
This is just another way of seeing.
This prompt is part of The Everyday Childhood Photo Project — a free, gentle photo project offering weekly prompts to help moms document childhood with intention.
