Taking photos of children sometimes can seem like a
never-ending task. They don’t stay in the same place for long and are arguably
one of the most unpredictable subjects. Here are some tips to get some great
pictures of your special children.
1.
Use a
stool or chair. This will give them something to sit on. You can call this
your home area. If they are getting antsy and leaving the chair, put a Cheerio
or some kind of food on the chair for them to get once they sit down.
2.
Use
entrapment. It sounds bad, but it will get them to stay in one place and
will make for cute pictures.
3.
Be
outdoors. Don’t force them to sit or stay in one spot because that isn’t
their natural instincts while being outside. Set up a start and finish line and
get them as they cross the finish line, which will create great shots.
4.
Have them
perform for you. If they like to dance, ask them to! If they like to play
with tractors, ask them to! It will show the personality of the child and
create cute shots.
5.
Use a
blankie. A lot of children grow up having a special blanket that they take
everywhere. It will also comfort them if they are having a hard time taking
pictures.
