Be honest. Is your mom\u2019s profile picture…lame? Maybe it\u2019s a picture of your dog? A grainy beach<\/a> sunset from that vacation four years ago? A flower she saw on her morning walk that you\u2019re sure was <\/span>very pretty<\/span><\/i> in person but that doesn\u2019t quite capture her amazingness?<\/span><\/p>\n

Your mom\u2019s not like a regular mom. She\u2019s a cool mom. And she deserves a profile picture to match.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still on the lookout for the best Mother’s Day gifts<\/span>, we\u2019ve got the perfect idea \u2014 a new profile picture, shot by you and edited with PicsArt photo editor and collage maker. So we\u2019ve pulled together some portrait photography tips and the <\/span>best photo editing tutorials<\/span> for you to give your mom\u2019s profile a rad new look. Treat her to a photo sesh (tips below!) or find your favorite picture of her and get ready to give her profile pic a much-deserved makeover.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, snap a picture of your mom. Here are a few tips for getting a great shot:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wipe off the lens of your phone! It makes a huge difference. You\u2019ll see.<\/li>\n
  2. Find a place with even lighting. Natural light is always best, so try shooting in front of a window.<\/li>\n
  3. Try to\u00a0find an interesting background. Something clean and simple. A busy background might draw attention away from your beautiful mom, and we don\u2019t want that.<\/li>\n
  4. Before you take the picture, tap the screen to focus on her face and set the exposure.<\/li>\n
  5. Take MORE photos than you’d think. Help your mom find an angle of her face or body that makes her feel like a million bucks, and try different variations of that pose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And now, onto the photo editing tutorials!<\/p>\n

    If the crown fits…<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Moms are queens, end of story. For <\/span>Mother\u2019s Day 2017,<\/span> take your pick from the <\/span>Bow Down<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Crystal Crowns<\/span><\/a> sticker packs to give her the crown she deserves. Check out the easy tutorial here.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Try the Dispersion Tool.<\/span><\/h2>\n

    If you haven\u2019t done so already, give the Dispersion Tool<\/a> a try to make an awesome edit that will have all her friends asking how she did that. (And if she\u2019s into cheesy puns, maybe throw in a little note that says \u201cI love you to pieces.\u201d …Get it?)<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Turn up the rainbow vibes.<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Forget everyone else\u2019s traditional <\/span>Mother\u2019s Day gifts<\/span><\/a>! For <\/span>Mother\u2019s Day 2017<\/span>, get your mom on-trend with a <\/span>rainbow light filter<\/span><\/a> selfie. She really <\/span>will<\/span><\/i> be a cool mom.<\/span><\/p>\n
