Never work with kids or animals?

There is that old showbiz saying "never work with kids or animals" don't believe it. Get you camera out and just snap away while the kids are playing their actions and expressions will be so much more natural than posed. Try and get down to their level get eye to eye, too many shots are ruined by standing over them from 6 feet high!

I had a shoot with my neice not long ago and Riley just did not want to be a part of it. I dont force kids to pose they don't like it. So i just left him alone and continued taking pictures of mum and his sister , after a while he snuck closer and closer wanting to be apart of what was happening until he was sitting on the lounge at my shoulder

thats when i got this one. I love it its one of my favorites.

Make a theme kids got through so many phases one days its spiderman the the next its trucks. Get some photos of them playing with their favorite toys they'll laugh when they are older going through the family albums.

Have fun with kids pics and even if you don't have kids like me i steal my neices and nephews kids.

The best advice i can offer is relax have fun.
