Have you ever done a portrait session with your family? What do you think is the hardest part? Well, if you have kids, you'll probably agree that it's getting them to relax and smile nicely for the camera! Kids hate being confined and a photoshoot is a very confining activity - often even more confining than being stuck in school! Why? Because the photographer wants to not only control where they sit and what they do, but even how their body is positioned and the expression on their face! Most teachers don’t attempt to control their students faces (except "Stop sticking out your tongue!"). So as Autumn approaches (the perfect season for family portraits), we’d like to offer you three great tips to make it easier to get your kids to behave and look good in photos. |
