5 Ways To Get Great Kid Photos

While formal portraits are nice to have, sometimes a more natural capture of your child is a great change. Whether the child is your own, a friend's child, or a client's child the number one tip for getting a great kid photo is to let them play. Not only will letting them play give you great action shots and interesting props (slides, bubbles, mud pies, bicycles, paintball barrages, etc), it will also give you lots of "unguarded" moments when the kids show their true selves instead of "I'm smiling because Mommy said so" faces. Kids experience the world through play, let them play and gain a wonderful glimpse into their world for a change!
