Photographing Children: Creative Tips for Parents/Beginners
Photographing Children: Creative Tips for Parents/Beginners
"Smiiiille. Look here and smile please!" Unfortunately, this rarely works when trying to photograph your child and you usually get a fake smile.
At the end of the day, every parent just wants to capture everything our child or children do as it's a special moment, a special memory. I quickly discovered these moments weren't as easy to photograph of my 3 year old. Being a professional portrait & beauty photographer, I'm used to working with actors and models. People I can easily pose. Not wonderful, energetic, tiny little humans who won't stand still.
And just like with parenting, I quickly adapted and became creative. That is what this class is all about. These are my pro tips you can easily apply and see great results immediately.
