How To Take A Kid's Portrait Picture

By Christine Taylor


Taking pictures of adults is a piece of cake compared to taking photos of children. It's a challenge to have kids, in particular those who are really young, to sit still for a couple of minutes to have their pictures taken. Snapshots may be easy to shoot, but it's not as easy to take portrait photographs of children. Although it is nearly impossible to make children behave for a few minutes to smile at the camera, the result will be priceless.

Very young kids cannot be expected to just pose before the camera. Some children can act and give the photographer their best smile, but most of them couldn't care less if they don't own a "nice" picture at all if they must sit still even for a few minutes. Taking a professional photo of a young child is going to be a challenge, whether it's a solo portrait or a family portrait.

There are just a few things that parents and photographers have to keep in mind when taking a child's portrait photography, and bringing the child's favourite toy is one of them.

Children can be cranky when they are unfed and don't have adequate sleep. It's recommended to bring lightweight refreshments on the photo shoot so they can have food to munch on while waiting. Avoid foods that require utensils, though. They should also have had full sleep before they arrive at the photo shoot.
