On Monday I shared about the Beautiful Baby Contest that’s being held on the “LIVE! With Regis and Kelly” show. As the mom of 6 boys there have definitely been times that it’s been difficult to get that elusive picture of them.
So I thought I’d share just a few of the things I’ve done over the years to help the process. I cannot say that any of these ideas are anything but simple nor can I say that they work 100% of the time, kids will be kids, but they will up your chances of getting a great photograph.
General tips for photographing children…
- Make sure you don’t try to photograph a child during their naptime.
- Make sure they aren’t hungry.
- Bring/prepare favorite toys, stuffies or other items that will make your child happy and/or keep their attention.
If you are taking them to a professional photography studio…
If you think choosing your child’s outfit for the pictures is the most difficult part, think again. Once you get there you may find yourself presented with a plethora of challenges you never anticipated, even if the child has done well in the past.
Toddlers and Preschoolers are renown for their ability to be fickle creatures.
