Ezzy's Photography: Families and Children Photography tips

How to make your photo shoot more fun and memorable.

It is very important to have family pictures or just pictures of your kids. It's amazing how after a couple months or years we take a look at our professional artsy pictures that more than that are memories that will last forever.

Number 1 rule: Have Fun! It's a photo shoot not a military drill.

Normal day, normal people fun, fun, fun.

Play games with your kids.

Not all kids will cooperate and just sit still, that is absolutely normal!

Let them run, run with them, give them some jelly beans or cookies for good behavior whenever they do whatever you ask them. (cookies is one of the best secrets)

Let's be silly!!

Bring toys for the kids to keep them entertained, did I mention cookies?? Kids seem to love those..

Bring a blanket to lay on the grass, big enough for you and your children.

If you'd like bring an extra outfit for the kids, maybe an extra one for you as well if you will be quick and find a place to change.

Clothing: Something cute, colorful or just plain white will do the trick.

Are you a fashionista? Fashion your kids up!

Funny costumes..Anything goes!

Personally I think the best Images a Photographer / Photo journalist can capture are candids, those moments where you are being yourself, being a parent, a wife, a husband... Doing what you usually do, letting the moment take you and living life step by step.
