Challenge.
In the last month I was able to photograph my seven grandchildren. The oldest is 6 years and the youngest is just months old. How could I get great photos of these young children.
Solution.
There are a number of things you can do to guarantee a better photo shoot of your younger children.
1. Go to a good location, someplace fun and scenic.
2. Make sure you ready shoot quickly, I use two cameras, one with wide angle and the other with
longer glass.
3. Once I'm ready to go, I let the kids play and have fun, always looking for a nice moment,
like the shot above.
4. After they play for a short time, I try to get the older ones to play the "Modeling Game" , where
they pretend to be models. These shots can be fun because you don't really know what they are
going to do most of the time.
5. The last thing I try to do is set up portraits. Sometimes they work and other times, no so good.
6. When we get done everybody goes and gets Ice Cream, the reward promised to them before the
shoot starts.
