Toddler Photography Ideas

Toddler and baby photography, is a rather specialised thing, requiring a lot of patience. The photographer has to conduct the shoot at toddlers pace! Get the shots quickly before the little ones start to get bored, and work with their moods to get the best results from your toddlers.

 

Toddlers and babies are way smarter than grownups. Adults seem to have their priorities solidly crooked. In order to get good results from Toddlers and babies you have to understand how a newborn or toddler thinks. Life is an adventure, there is always something new to be discovered. And there is no time like the present to discover what your toes taste like, or learn what happens when you pull mom’s earring.

Baby photography, and toddler photography, for that matter is a rather specialised thing, requiring a lot of patience. The photographer has to conduct the shoot at the Toddlers pace! Get the shots quickly before the little ones start to get bored, and work with their moods to get the best results from baby photography.

Toddler photography ideas for your shoot:

  • Book your shoot for the time of day when your toddler is most alert and in his best mood. Generally we have found this to be somewhere between 9 o’clock and 11 o’clock in the morning. Keep this in mind when booking your shoot.
  • Make sure your toddler has eaten before the shoot – there’s nothing like being hungry to put you in a bad mood.
  • Bring along some of your toddlersrite toys and teddies. It is always good to have props to get babies attention even if the props are not in the final shots.
  • Bubbles! Bubbles always work, bring bubbles.
