Photographing Children

I've recently found the time to get my two beautiful children (I might be a little biased) into the studio to photograph them. For all you parents out there who get frustrated when their children do not want to cooperate while getting their portraits taken just remember your children aren't the only ones. I have to coax my children in to getting their portraits taken as well.

All of the images below were taken after 9:30 at night, 30 minutes after their bed time.

Here are my bored kids toward the beginning of the shoot. You can tell that they don't really want their portraits taken.




Here they are later on in the shoot being more cooperative and having fun.




I've found that it is a lot easier when I can take them in alone without distractions. So the next time you come in to get their portraits taken (even if you go somewhere else) try stepping out of sight or out of the room and if you have a good photographer who knows how to entertain children, you might be pleasantly surprised at the images you get back.
