I specialize in children, families and seniors – but even within that niche, I seem to have a special focus on kiddos 5 and under. Perhaps it’s that whole, ‘you attract what you show’ concept. All I know is that 75% of the kids I photograph are under the age of 5. But that’s great by me, because I love photographing this age!
What’s so funny is that we each have “that age” or “that type” which we just love to work with. My friend, Karen, and I were just talking about this… She’s also a children and family photographer, but she’d much rather focus on the older kids – like that tween stage. And while I enjoy working with that age, too, I feel like I’m really in my element when I’m photographing the young ones.
So today… I’m sharing my 5 favorite tips and tricks to photographing young children.
Love the backdrop?
Me too!

Are you ready for more? I’m determined to prove to as many photographers as will let me that you can have passion, profits and time for a great life. I create six-figure photographers, and I’d love to teach you, step-by-step, how it’s done. This is happening for photographers from all over the world who are just like you. Let me prove just how wildly successful YOU can be!

Pez dispenser in the shoe mount!!!! Brilliant!
Isn’t that a great one! I wish I could remember who first shared that with me! 🙂
Your video was simply brilliant!!!! The tips are totally doable. Thank u!!!!!!!!
I love the paper punch idea! I’m definitely using it. I have lots of pez dispensers, too, and have been meaning to try to fit them onto my camera shoe!
So glad you liked it Idie! The dad at Saturday’s shoot was so funny!! He was like, “WHOA!!! Is that what those are made for?” I said no and showed him where i had cut it and then he was like, “Oh! Cause if that was and I’m only just realizing it – it was going to blow my mind.” LOL!!
I am getting ready to shoot some 5 year old kids. Thanks for the tips! I’ll be using them.
You’re so welcome! How did the shoot go and did you end up trying any of the tricks? If so which ones? 🙂
