Do at least one of these and you will have more success in getting your kids pictures…
Kids have this endless energy they have to burn off in a day making it challenging to get them to stay still long enough to take their pictures.
Pick a few things from the list , make sure your camera is ready.
By short I mean a few seconds/minutes and change it up on the fly...that will keep them engaged a bit longer.
Keep it simple :
Give them somewhere's to sit
Give them something to hold
Give them something to look at
Give them something to do
Keep it Short:
Keep it down to a few minutes ( seconds for some ages ) so the kids will co-operate on another day.
The more you drag out ( to them it feels really long ) the more they will hate it. Remember to have your camera ready before you even start.
Be Silly:
Ask them silly questions and don’t forget to be silly yourself...most kids love the silly stuff and have a great sense of humour.
What silly questions can you ask to lead into silly conversations?
Does Daddy/Mommy snore ? How loud is it? Can you show me how loud? …and you get the drift
Does Daddy/Mommy where diapers?
What/who has stinky feet ?
What does Peppa Pig say?
