1.  When shooting outdoors, the best light is typically early in the morning or later in the afternoon.

2.  Cloudy days make for nice soft light.

3.  If you are shooting in bright sunlight, look for open shade, such as a tree to shade the sunlight a little.

1.  Consider the best composition.  Will your shot look better horizontal or vertical?

2.  Get closer!  This usually makes for a more intimate shot.

3.  Get down on their level.  Lay on the floor, or crouch down lower so you are looking more into their eyes instead of down on them.
