Chicago Children and Family Photography- Working With Kids

Alyssa Govea February 12, 2021

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!
