Children Photography is one of the most interesting subject because it is both fun and challenging. Most parents agree that when kids are happy and smiley, it is fun to watch them… however, they have their moments too, which make it challenging…

Let me share with you my tips and tricks on how I do the shoot that allow the child to response well especially on outdoor location…

Here are a few things to consider:

1. Timing
2. Location
3. What to do with your child…

First, let’s talk about Timing of your shoot…
In tropical weather like Singapore, there are only 2 of the best time to head outdoor, which is early in the morning around 8am or late in the afternoon around 5:30pm. However, we also need to work with your child’s sleeping time… we certainly want to photograph them at their best time… Children under 3 years old, tend to be happy in the morning when they had their good night sleep and their breakfast… and if your kids are most active during the later part of the day… well then 5:30pm works.

Second, location of your shoot…
I often being asked about the best outdoor location for photographing children and family… the answer is always depends on what you like the final pictures to look like… Greenery like Botanic Garden? Cityscape like Marina Bay Promenade? Beach such as East Coast Park? Or Historical Joo Chiat Precinct?

Wherever you prefer to go, it has to be 1, easy to get to… 2, it is not too far from your home… As parents, you and I understand that kids don’t much patience, so I would rather best smiling kids at local park…

Third and Lastly… What to do with your children…
The main reason that you have me as your photographer is because you know I can manage your children as well as your family and give you the best images that you see in our website… after all, after 9+ years of dealing with children, I know how to engage children and make them response the way I wanted them to response…

So the only thing I need you to tell your children is we are going to play at this at location… and get them excited about PLAYING bits and I will take care of the rest…

After all, as parents, we want to see a happy child… so what a better way to enjoy the fun playing shoot with them… this is how I photograph… I never pose people… but I do guide clients to arrive at the pose that I need them to be without them realising it… it is an art in managing people and I love it…

I promise you this… You will totally enjoy the experience having your family and children photograph done…
