What To Consider For Children Photography The majority 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 very best of intentions, kids photography seldom goes as planned and can move south quickly, resulting in less than stellar memories captured for posterity. Here are some tips about how to come home with the best images possible from a professional photo shoot. Location To begin with, have a talk to the photographer about where you would like the pictures to be taken. Arrive somewhat early if you are having the pictures taken in the studio, to give your child a chance to walk around and get used to their surroundings. Watch a few minutes of an earlier session, if the individuals don't mind, to show your child why they are there. Give your child a few minutes to acclimate to the surroundings before expected to sit by themselves on a chair or with a back drop to “perform." You might want to consider walking your child through it verbally, and physically when possible, so they don't get scared or confused by all the direction after the camera starts pointing at them. If the kids photography will be done on location, give your little one a chance to run or play ahead of time and you will likely come across a few spots that they are drawn to. If you'd like the park, for example, you'll be able to tell what things will give them a smile and where they feel comfortable. When you're in a more natural setting, you could be surprised that a little rock might be the perfect place for them to sit and gives them nothing but smiles to sit on it. Work along with the photographer to see if they mind you offering some recommendations as to where you want the pictures taken. If so, 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's known to wear bananas and peanut butter as common accessories. However, stage a brief dress up session a couple of days before the shoot to ensure that there are no parts of the clothing that are ill-fitting or cause discomfort. In addition, if your child decides they absolutely hate it and are expected to wear it the day of, that dislike will probably flow through in the form of obstinacy or less than thrilled expressions. If they love it, however, you can use that to your advantage to help create excitement by associating it with picture day. Even better, consider letting your mini-me participate in the outfit picking to guarantee cooperation. This can also pertain to hats, hair styles and any other accessory that you'd like to use. The Props Even though that floppy eared bunny might not look the best, down the road, is that stuffed toy going to be part of this era of your child's life? Consider bringing the animal along, if this sounds like the case, once you have washed it for a few pictures, or have your child pick a couple of 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 PortlandPhotoStudio.com
