What To Take Into Consideration For Kids Photography Most of us can remember that childhood photo in a scrapbook where you have a tight smile towards the camera with some red puffy eyes and a couple tears rolling down your cheeks. Despite the best of intentions, kids photography seldom goes as planned and may move south quickly, resulting in less than stellar memories captured for posterity. Listed are a couple way to return with the most amazing pictures from a professional photo shoot. The Location First of all, have a talk with the photographer about where you would like the pictures to be taken. Arrive a little early if you're having the pictures taken in the studio, to give your child an opportunity to walk around and get used to their surroundings. Watch a few minutes of an earlier session, if the people don't mind, to show your child why they are there. Give your child a couple of minutes to acclimate to the surroundings before expected to sit all alone on a chair or with a back drop to “perform." Walk your little one through it verbally (and physically, if possible) so they don’t get overwhelmed or confused by the direction being told when a camera is pointing their way. If the kids photography will be performed on location, provide your little one a chance to run or play ahead of time and you will likely come across a few spots that they're drawn to. If you'd like the park, for example, you will be able to tell what things will give them a smile and where they feel comfortable. If it's a natural landscape, you might be surprised that a simple rock quickly becomes their favorite sitting place and creates the perfect grin each time they rest on that perch. Work with the photographer to see whether you could have input as to where the shoot is held. If that's the case, choose a place you know your child enjoys and that might generate excitement and genuine smiles. Clothing It can be hard to take that new, perfectly pressed outfit and let it to be touched by a munchkin who is known to wear bananas and peanut butter as common accessories. But, try the outfit on a few days before just to be sure that all the articles of clothing fit properly and won't cause any discomfort. Plus, if your child decides that they don't care for the outfit and are expected to put it on that day, they may likely take this out in the form of less than thrilled expressions for the photographer. But, if they like it, then this will be a huge advantage to help get a bit of excitement with the outfit and the picture day. To make sure they cooperate, consider letting your child to be a part of selecting the outfit. This will also pertain to hats, hair styles and any other accessory that you would like to use. Props That floppy eared bunny may have seen some better days, but in the long run, will he be part of the identity in this era in your child’s life? Consider bringing the animal along, if this sounds like the case, once you've washed it for a few pictures, or have your child pick a few other things that are special to them. Oftentimes during kids photography, props are provided to help elicit a smile, but chances are they won’t have any sentimental meaning for your child. Your child is going to have a comforting friend to help maneuver through the session if you do this, and you can have a PortlandPhotoStudio.com
