Ideas for Children’s Photography (#6-10)
Kids are always very proud of their growth and age. Ask any kid as to what is his/her age. They will be happy to tell you (if at all they know it). Shy kids normally prefer showing signs rather than telling it. The bonus for you is that they are completely natural in their act!

Pets put children into the mood, and the great thing about pets for them, is they can boss around the pets like adults do with them! – like telling the pet what to eat, where to walk to etc. Needless to say, you get a chance for some fun snaps!
Bonus tip: Just tell the child that you and him/her are going to take photos of the pet – and watch her round up the pet and be all ready for the shot.

Big brothers and sisters love to take snaps with their younger ones – yeah, when they are not fighting! But they can be most lovable when they get a chance to play the big sibling. The mix of childish features and mature emotions is a unique combination. Get some tender looking shots you will cherish for ever.
Nose Rubbing: Kids’ favourite pastime with their mothers. Just ask them to play a game and try to rub their noses and tell the mother (or father) to try to dodge them – Kids can be very fast when they want! A good way to get some dynamic shots as they forget the camera is around. Even the parents love doing this.
You all know this one. Kids love to be thrown up in the air, and its truly innocent that they put all their trust in the hands beneath them. Just don’t forget to have a camera ready – the nice part is that they make some great expressions as they enjoy being tossed up.
