Since 1950, June 1 has been celebrated as International Day for Protection of Children in many countries. This holiday is also honored on November 20 because on this date in 1989 the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Summer is round the corner and children are among those who love it especially. That’s why we’ve decided to write this post now, to get you ready for Children’s Day and vacation time with your child.
Here at Pho.to we just adore the spring season. It always inspires us to design new photo frames, photo montages and photo card templates adorned with beautiful birds, flowers and other amazing things. It’s a wondrous time and we are really excited to share with you some tips and ideas on how to make a photo card for a great spring holiday — Easter.
We’ve already written a post about Easter that includes interesting information about the holiday and tells how to turn your holiday photos into good-looking Easter-themed pictures. Our new post is different: it’s all about greeting cards, personalized with your photos and wishes. But be sure to check the Easter page on Funny.Pho.to as well: there are so many Easter templates, that we were unable to write about all of them.
We have four new templates to amaze you! With these new arrivals you can, for example add a lomo grunge effect to your photo. There is also a new awesome face painting that makes you look as a model at a huge make up festival and a marvelous frame with cute cartoon dogs. The last but not least comes a template with a funny squirrel, inspired by a famous Internet meme (do you remember the Banff Squirrel?).

Father’s day is near at hand. Many of us are already looking for a good gift, planning holiday activities and family dinners. But what to do if you live far away from your parents? Call them, of course, share your warmest wishes with your dad, send him a present… and send an electronic greeting card as well.
By the way, publishing a greeting card on his wall on Facebook is a good idea at all rates, even if you live with your parents in one house: you’ll express your attention and care spending little to none efforts: making a personalized e-card for Father’s day won’t take much time. We’ll help you make a splendid card as we know well how to do it.

Small things, such as patriotic face paint and accessories that symbolize which team you prefer, help to keep the spirit and solidarity high.
The photo is edited with our new ‘Flag of Brazil‘ photo template. In this post we are going to tell you a few interesting facts on football and illustrate them with fun football Pho.to templates. Enjoy!

Kids are a great subject for photography. They are genuine, full of emotion and… aren’t they the sweetest things? Besides, they grow up too fast, so every photo becomes a treasure.
Photographing children is fun, but not an easy task: kids are always on the move, and phrases like “hold it” or “freeze” carry very little weight with them 🙂
Неre are a few tips and tricks that can help you get the best possible results when photographing children.
1. Get down to the child’s eye level.
Kids are short, you are not. If you shoot from an adult’s perspective, pictures will have the same downward angle. So the main rule is: get down on their level. The best way to do so is to kneel down or even lie on the floor/ ground so that the camera is on the same level with the kid’s eyes. Naturally, you may get dirty 🙂 but with this small change, you’ll get much more intimate shots.
