Great information! Thank you!
These are great suggestions, but how would you tackle a pre school with 50 children from 1 -4 in 4 hours , I used puppets and and teachers aids that they know the children, but with only 5 to 10 mins and being a guy , I found the girls much harder to work with , the children got a bit easier as they got older. Have you photograph whole pre school and do u have any advice about them.
What comic book did you get that blouse out of? Little Lulu, Olive Oyl, or Little Orphan Annie??? I hope you've changed your style since this was made.
Interesting tips!
I love the foot trick. Fantastic idea! I just did a 5 tip video, I don't think our tips are as good as yours
Wow – cute tips hun. I love the punch idea and the pez ON the camera?! LOL
will use this at the park thx
Great advice (Y)

Great video photography work, u can also publish in your Youpic.
Great tips. Pretty woman.
Hi Leah, i just got a job at a photo studio and alot of kids come in often to do portraits, im a really calm person and everyone else there seems to be lively and loud. what advice can you give me to open up and get these kids to enjoy taking the the photos and how can i get them to laugh and show their smiles??
awesome tips!! Thank you
I have a bean bag frog that I put onto my head. I tell the frog not to move. The kids are looking at the frog and not moving. I then snap my head back, making the frog fall onto my back. The kids really smile "knowing" where the frog is when I "don't". Good eye line from the kids, natural smile, and didn't move.
These are all great ideas – I like the paper punch idea too, I usually use stickers in the studio or any natural thing outside but paper would be cheap!
Thanks Addie! That paper punch one is a favorite of mine too… If I don't have punches, I will use a leaf, a twig, a rock, a little brother (just kidding on the last one). 🙂
Great tips, all around. 😀 Love the paper punch idea, especially. Thanks so much!!
