⢠TIPS AND TRICKS FOR KIDS AT A SHOOTā¢
Got ya! What a loaded phrase; itās like a new parent asking ādo you have any advice?ā You want to respond with āstrap your seatbelt on, there is no advice, god speed, theyāre bloody cute!ā
But in all seriousness, the advice I AM going to give is going to be a little controversialā¦.
LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS š«¢š«¢š«¢
I donāt mean for the quality of your shoot, your experience or even getting what you want. Youāre paying good money for something so valuable, butā¦
Lower your expectation of everyone looking at the camera at the same time, everyone standing still or even listening haha
Do value the experience. How they feel, how you feel and how you feel when you leave your shoot.
Let them play, let them make funny faces and say poo and tell mum and dad theyāre gross when they kiss. Let them do all the things.
My advice is choose a photographer who values making you āfeelā during your shoot. And especially making your kids feel seen, valued and apart of the experience! Kids absolutely can be hard but they truly are the best.
There probably are real tips and tricks but honestly, roll with it, your photographer knows what theyāre doing and they all are pretty amazing.
If Iāve captured you and your kiddos, leave a comment with one word for how you felt during your shoot with me!
