The key is natural window light. It's easy. Figure out which windows in your house face north. Have your child stand (or sit) closely to the window and look out of it. Shut off the flash, then snap away. The coloring will always be flattering-as long as there is enough light. Then if you have picasa or some other photo editing software, play around with soft focus and cropping until you get the look you want. Here are some photos that I have taken next to my glass doors and edited...
You might even try black and white or sepia. The skin tones will still look just as nice.
Best of all, it only costs pennies. Or at least a lot less than school photos. (I still get the class pictures though)
