Here are six steps that you can take to help ensure a successful shoot:
1. Pay close attention to the clothing choice. Strong patterns are pretty in real life. However, they are not flattering in a photo. The pattern demands too much attention. The focus should be on the child.
2. Have a well rested child You should NEVER schedule a photo shoot near nap time.
3. Bring your child’s favorite toy, blankie or doll Not only might I choose to use it in a few photos (which is a great memory for later years) but, it will go a long way in comforting your child.
4. Bring a snack and juice It doesnt hurt anything to take a small break.
5. Pick a neutral spot It might not be a bad idea to shoot their session in their room or at their home. Some children feel more comfortable on their own turf. And mom don’t clean their room too much some items cause texture which is very helpful in the photos.
6. Try not to make it seem so important Children just want to have fun, and (if you’ve chosen the right photographer) so does she. “Hint-Hint”
