Nine Tips for Preparing Your Children for a Family Photoshoot
Here are some quick tips for making sure your child or children are ready for your family Photoshoot.
1) Leave plenty of time for the journey. Make sure that the trip to the studio is not rushed or hassled. Do your wardrobe selections the evening before!
2) Nowadays it’s not just the teenagers who get huffy when you choose their clothes for them so make a deal! Let the child select their choice of clothes on the condition that they will also wear your choice too. Continue reading 9 Tips for Preparing Your Children for a Family Photoshoot.
Working With Children
Working With Children
We have photographed a lot of kids over the years and we like to think that we do it rather well. One of the things we’ve have learned is how to make kids feel chilled.
Every age is different and every youngster is different. Some will come bursting in looking forward to it all. Others might be a little more quiet and need some coaxing.
We will meet them at their level, chatting with them about what they like, what they have been doing and general getting them comfortable.
If it means playing about and acting the idiot we can do that. If it means taking everything a little slower and quieter then we can do that too.
For the first chunk of the experience we will typically be photographing you and the kids together. This aids them feel comfortable and understand the procedure. They still have their Mum or Dad for moral support.
Pretty soon they will be happy and chilled and up for the full photoshoot.
We know it’s working because so many youngsters remember us when they come back for their next shoot?

Bob & Bert’s!
Bob & Bert’s!
NO! Not a coffee shop. Bertie the Bear is one of our studio props and he’s really popular with kids. They love his soft fleecy hair and his cheeky grin, and he’s just the right size for a big cuddle from any of our toddlers. And of course he keeps me company when I’m working alone at the studio.
But what Bertie really likes is to be with lots of lovely people, so book a studio appointment for just £45, (presently that includes a complimentary framed Art Print in a 10×8 inch frame), and make Bertie’s day!

How to Get Real, Genuine Smiles From Your Kids!
Children of a certain age can suddenly lose the power to grin without looking like some weird gargoyle off a church! (In fact some parents do too!) The tip to getting a genuine grin is to give them something they really giggle at.
Here are some things you can do:-
- Be prepared to giggle yourself – and if needs be to wholly act the idiot.
- Remember what TV programs really make them smile.
- It’s surprising how frequently Daddy doing something unfortunate works!
- If they are old enough, do they tell jokes? Do they laugh at jokes?
- For young children, if they have a favorite toy the photographer can use it that in all sorts of ways to make them look and giggle.
- If they like a special song or rhyme, then either bring it on your smartphone or be ready to sing it with them
- Make a checklist of funny things and send it to us before the experience, that way we can be armed and prepared.
We like to keep things fun and simple with youngsters. We understand they trade moods from moment to moment. We will treat them with respect and generally mess around with them to help everyone get the final photograph.
