Mamarazzi: Top Tips for Getting Super Kid Shots
Of course, every mamarazzo wants to know how to capture winning
photos of her children. She wants to pick the perfect spots for
shots, use lovely lighting, and make her camera’s bells and
whistles sing. But the true show stopper for most moms is the
ability to capture her child’s true personality in photos. A few
insider tips can do the trick!
Don’t act your age.
The best way to guarantee giggles from your children is to think
like a kid yourself. Figure out what makes them laugh … and then
start the show! This may mean breaking a few rules in honor of
photo time. For instance, let your monkey jump on the bed or plan a
ridiculously bubbly bath time.
But whatever you do, aim to capture the magic of childhood. Grab
close ups of your son’s grass-stained knees. Or keep your distance
and zoom out to show your daughter at play in her room. Use your
imagination--right along with your child--to grab some great
captures.
Catch smiling siblings.
Sibling shots are the pièce de résistance for nearly every
mama--and papa, for that matter! But they can also be the most
difficult images to get. How can you capture the charisma or
chaos! of siblings without taking a trip to the looney bin?
Here’s an idea: Gather your crew and engage them in a
fun-for-all activity, like blowing bubbles, playing in the
sprinkler, or building a blanket fort. Step back and capture the
candids that ensue.
Or hop into the Director’s chair for some shots. Mix up the
words to a standard song to get a few grins. Suggest a jumping
contest or try a tickle fest for fun. Balance something on your
head and then let it fall to the floor. Engage your inner actress
and make a big deal over the funny fails.
Encourage siblings to get close closer … no, ever closer! to
each other as you snap your shots. Chances are, if they’re having
fun, they won’t mind the close quarters … and yep, it even works
with toddlers and tweens!
Give ‘em some star treatment.
A seemingly simple tip that can go a long way to improve your
mamarazzo moments is to handle your “star” with care. Be fun,
honest, and kind to your child when you’re behind the camera.
Make picture time fun … and enjoy the experience … rather than
just getting the shot. Play games, tell jokes, or act silly along
with your child. And if your children are old enough, let them be
part of the photography process. Encourage your daughter to choose
her own funky photo outfits. Or have your son pick his favorite
places for picture-taking. If you make it fun, chances are that
you’ll all enjoy camera time together.
Remember to be kind to your child, especially when taking
photos. You’ll want your child to feel cherished rather than
chastised when the shutter is snapping. So keep your cool, mama.
And no matter how much your kids push your buttons when you’re
trying to woman the camera, keep it fun and upbeat. And when
you’re tapped out, close the curtain!
With these tips, you’re sure to capture the winning shots you
want. And even better, you might just earn a repeat performance the
next time you bring out your camera!
