Quick Tips for Photographing Your Kids

HOW TO TAKE GREAT PHOTOS OF YOUR CHILDREN.

A parent can never take enough photos of their children but sometimes it can be difficult to get a really great shot. Below are a few quick tips that you can apply the next time you take your camera out to capture a moment with your kids.

1. Try and stay away from asking your kids to pose. Instead, be around to capture the emotions they display in a moment. If you’re patient enough and simply enjoy the time with your children, you’ll find it much easier to capture the essence of it.

2. Get down to their level. If you’re photographing very small children try and get down to their level to photograph them. This angle gives you a more interesting background too.

3. Have a conversation with them. Having a conversation with your child about their favorite superhero or their best friend at school will make for lovely facial expressions. You could even have them sing along to their favorite songs for extra fun photos.

4. Your smartphone is the perfect tool for capturing candid moments. Your children are probably very used to seeing you with your smartphone so won’t think anything of you keeping it close by. Have it ready when you’re out and about with them. You never know when they might give you the perfect shot.

5. Use unique locations to your advantage. If you have planned a walk in the woods or a day at the beach, take advantage of your unique surroundings to capture some great pictures.

6. Avoid midday sunlight. Lighting makes a big difference in photos so aim for early morning or evening light for outdoor shots and open windows and doors for indoor shots.

PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm Michele McCoy, a family and wedding photographer in beautiful Mountain Home, Arkansas. I am also a blessed wife, mother of two sweet boys, nature enthusiast, and creative.

My passion for photography has grown over many years, from receiving my first disposable camera as a kid, to now capturing all those special moments in life within my own family and for my clients.

I have over 10+ years experience taking photos. My family and friends all told me that I should become a photographer. From there, I launched my business and found a mentor, an award winning photographer for 20+ years, to help me become the best photographer I could be.

"While we try to teach our children all about life our children teach us what life is all about." -Angela Schwindt . . I always have an amazing time photographing kids, they are such a ball of energy and life. I think that's why I love it so much cause I'm just as much a ball of energy and life as them lol......admittedly I can be a big kid sometimes......and being around kids brings it out in me lol. They tend to make me work for the shots I get, but I always have so much fun doing it so I never mind the work. . . . . #kidsphotography #kidsphoto #kidsphotoshoot #kidsphotographer #kidsphotographers #kidphotographer #kidphotographer #kidsportraits #kidsportraitphotography #kidsportrait #kidportrait #kidportraits #kidphotos #childrenphotos #childrenphotoshoot #childrensphotography #childrenphotographer #childrenportraits #bahamasphotographer #nassauphotographer #nassaubahamas #bahamas #sundayshowcase #goldenonephotos (at Bahamas, Commonwealth of the) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDt-3OSBU8y/?igshid=l0m87cszfl30
