Kids are great fun to photograph – they’re playful, carefree, and usually pretty comfortable in front of a camera. Our kids photography Vancouver service is aimed at making sure your children are at-ease so their natural selves can shine through.
Most times, however, they need some time to relax and warm up before being truly themselves. Other times, it’ll be rather difficult as some children are shy and simply refuse to be photographed.
Let’s take a look at some things we do to get beautiful, fun photos with your kids!
Communicating for Engagement
Talking with children can go a long way in getting them to engage back, smile, and be themselves! We ask them about their favorite subjects at school, their friends, and the different activities they love to do! We also love to joke around and be silly to get them laughing for candid, genuine smiles.
Having Them Sit
Having them sit down is a simple, but effective pose that rarely fails. We sometimes get them to sit crisscrossed on the ground, or sitting on something from the natural environment of the location of the photo shoot is outdoors. They can sit on a rock, log, or a playground, and we’re sure they’ll have fun climbing!
Let Them Lead the Way
we let them pose, unposed. We love letting children lead the photoshoot by having them be themselves, in their element. Maybe they love collecting sticks, picking flowers, or chasing butterflies. We ask them about their favorite activities and see how the photoshoot can progress from there, hopefully getting some fun shots along the way.
Fun Posing – Jumping, On their Tummy, Over the Shoulder
A really fun pose is getting the kids to jump! This doesn’t feel posey and feels completely natural for them. They can jump from a rock or a log on the beach, and even from their bed or couch if the photoshoot is indoors.
Another great go-to is having them lie on their tummy, holding their face. This also works great if we are photographing more than one child and works equally as great for toddlers as it does for older children.
Having the child face away from the camera, but tilting their face towards it is a great pose. Kids that are more comfortable in front of the camera can play with how their chin is angled for different expressions!
