As mentioned in an earlier post, I said how having children as clients can be a bit difficult. Children are very unpredictable, one moment they’re happy and the next they want to do something different. I had a very tough time getting certain pictures because kids hate taking pictures!! So I started to approach each client differently, I am learning how to make clients feel comfortable, in order to achieve a project you must pace yourself and do not try to do everything all at once. Kids need to feel comfortable and happy, do not try to force them to do something they don’t want to do assure your client that everything will be ok and that they will have tons of fun. Make them feel like they are in control when taking pictures, but show them that you are the one that is holding the camera, but they get to choose which image they like best. This gives kids the ability to feel comfortable and happy, best of all it keeps them from throwing a tantrum over a picture.
