Photographing Children

I love to photography children.  They are so alive and interested in their environment.  That also sometimes makes it more difficult to get a good picture as well.  Particularly in the studio.

As a solution, I often take families out for walks in a park or some such which is great for the kids. This way I get a lot of good candid shots.  They will be xploring, I set up the shot, call for their attention and ‘click’ – there’s the shot.  Do this with a family for an hour or so and you will have many memorable pictures.  Make sure that you chat with different members of the family as you are on the walk.  This way they will be more comfortable with you and the pictures will be more natural.
