Tips For A Great Kids Photoshoot
Looking to have a photoshoot or have one planned for your little ones? We put some tips together to help make your appointment go more smoothly with less frowns and tears.
1) If they haven’t been professionally photographed before, have a family member or friend they don’t see often snap a few photos on a phone camera (with and without flash). This can help them get more use to a stranger trying to get their attention and take a photo along with possible flashing lights.
2) If you have a cake smash in mind, have your baby try some cake or cupcakes before the shoot. A lot of parents come in without their babies trying any cake or sweets. More often than not, if the cake smash is their first sweet or cake interaction they don’t know what to do with the cake and there is less “cake smashing” and eating.
3) Have your kids get a good night’s sleep. Tired kids make for grumpy and fussy pictures. If they take naps, try to schedule your appointment around nap times.
4) Make sure the kids eat before hand. Happy bellies make big, happy smiles. Bring along snacks and drinks for a quick snack break if needed.
5) Have the kids wear something comfortable. That doesn’t necessarily mean sweatpants and a t-shirt, but something that fits well, and isn’t tight, itchy, or distracting.
6) Bring their favorite toy or two and have their favorite music on hand to help bring out those smiles!
