Every photographer tries their best to get smiling faces from everyone, but sometimes the little ones have a hard time getting into a good mood. Here are a few things to try to get them feeling better during your photography session.
Play their favorite song, show, or video. A familiar, happy tune may get them singing, dancing, or very smiley.
Try playing with their favorite toy. Shaking their favorite toy around can help to grab their attention and smile at their familiar toy.
Take a break! Sometimes it’s good to do something different for a little while and come back.
Give them a snack. Another good refresher that can take the cranky edge off.
Engage tickle monster! A good tickle or a funny action can bring on some great giggles too!
