The Toddler Challenge
How can you do successful family portraits with an energetic toddler?
I'm sure you've tried a few times at home, and you may have found that it's no easy task when your little one is just not interested in sitting still OR looking at the camera OR making a nice smile...
I have a lot of photographer friends, and a lot of them tell me they do NOT enjoy the challenge of taking family portraits involving little kids and toddlers. But I actually love it! I'm down for the challenge, and I have the patience and skills needed to make it happen. Here are my 3 tips for your next family photo shoot!
tip #1 - add a prop
A prop that your kiddo can safely hold and enjoy can work wonders, while also adding a personal touch to the photos. Here are some ideas:
- Fake florals
- Favorite blanket
- Special stuffed animal
tip #2 - playtime
Take a look at how we channeled this little one's energy into a series of candid, fun photos. Mom absolutely LOVED these and so did I!
TIP #3 - don't stress
My family portrait sessions are never rushed or constrained to a short time period, and you can trust me to get the shots, whatever it takes!
they're growing fast... don't wait!
