How to Prepare Yourself and Young Children for Your Family Photoshoot

Updated: Jul 1



A portrait photo shoot is a great opportunity to capture beautiful and lasting memories of yourself and your young children. But preparing for a photo shoot can be stressful, especially if you have young children who may be unsure or uncomfortable in front of the camera. Here are a few tips to help you and your children prepare for a portrait photo shoot.


Choose a Specialized Photographer

Choose a photographer who specializes in children. When choosing a photographer for your portrait photo shoot, be sure to look for someone who has experience working with children. A photographer who specializes in children will be able to capture their natural expressions and personalities, and they will also be patient and understanding when working with young children who may be shy or unsure.


Plan Ahead

Plan the details in advance. Before the photo shoot, be sure to plan the details with the photographer, including the location, the wardrobe, and any props or special requests. This will help the photographer prepare for the shoot and ensure that everything goes smoothly on the day of the photo shoot. It will also help you and your children feel more comfortable and relaxed, knowing what to expect.


Dress Accordingly

Dress comfortably. When choosing your wardrobe for the photo shoot, be sure to choose clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in. Avoid clothing with tight or constricting elements, such as tight belts or buttons, as they can make it difficult for your children to move and express themselves. Instead, opt for comfortable and casual clothing that will allow your children to be themselves and have fun.


Bribes Work

Bring snacks and drinks. Young children can get easily distracted and cranky when they're hungry or thirsty, so be sure to bring snacks and drinks to the photo shoot. This will help keep your children happy and energized, and it will also give you a chance to take breaks and recharge between shots.


Bring the FUN!

Have fun and be yourself. Finally, the most important thing you can do to prepare for a portrait photo shoot with your children is to have fun and be yourself. Remember that the photographer is there to capture your unique personalities and relationships, so be sure to relax and enjoy the experience. With a little preparation and a positive attitude, you and your children will be sure to get beautiful and memorable images.
