How To Take A Kid's Portrait Picture

By Christine Taylor


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

Although some children can act, not all of them can be expected to just pose before the camera and give the photographer their best smile. Many of them don't even like to have their "nice" picture shot if they must sit still even for a couple of minutes. It's going to be a challenge to take professional photos of a young kid, whether it's a family portrait or a solo portrait.

It's a challenge, true, but it's not impossible to shoot Children photography. Parents and photographers must just bear in mind a few things when taking a child's portrait photo. First, be ready and bring the kid's favourite toy. For a kid, it's always playtime, while it's business for the photographer and the parents. They would be unruly and get bored immediately even before the photographer takes the first shot. But if they have their favourite toy, it can entertain them to stand still long enough. The toy can also help catch their attention on the camera.

Unfed kids are cranky. Bring lightweight refreshments that don't need utensils on the photo shoot. The snacks should be easy to eat and clean. It would be really unfortunate if the snack spoils the kids' attire. Make sure that they also have had complete sleep before the photo shoot.

Making the kid comfortable during the photography for children Singapore pictorial is very crucial as well. They should have food and toys plus they should also be in comfortable attire. Children photography should be fun so there's no need for the kid to pose very formally. After all, the goal is to show the child's personality in the portrait. Although they may look really cute in small tuxedo and little dresses, the whole image shoot would just be ruined if they don't feel and look comfy in their clothing.
