Contest Winners Mathew and Madeline

This is Mathew and Madeline, they were the contest winners for my Etsy contest featuring hats by Bethany's 5. You can check out her shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bethanys5?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=App_Seller&utm_content=shops&utm_campaign=fb_seller_shop2 . The shoot was quite an adventure, I have never shot twins before so it was good experience. There mother and I took turns feeding and trying to put them to sleep. We would get one happy then the other would start crying. It was rather comical. Mathew kept making rasberries the entire shoot, it was so funny. Madeline was just straight faced, I think she was in a zone from being over tired. In the end we finally got them both happy again after a nice stroll down my block. Here are my favorites from the shoot.

Photographing Children "Jesse, his father, and grandfather"

This is Sergio Sr. Sergio Jr. and Jesse. Jesse is 6 but, going on 16. Working with children of that age is always difficult. Who wants to sit/stand still while someone takes pictures... BORING! I find that making it into a game, or asking for funny faces makes children more interested. I let him set the pace. You can't force a child to smile, or punish them for not smiling ( I have witnessed that in the past) trust me it doesn't work. In fact it only guarantees that next year when it's family portrait time, you will have a melt down on your hands. Bringing his/her favorite toy is a good idea too. You can offer to take a picture of it for him/her. I let Jesse stand where he wanted, pose like he wanted and posed the family around HIM. Another trick I use is letting the kids take a picture of his parents with my camera (camera strap ON, lol). They love that and it makes them feel more involved. My rule is let the kid be a kid and your bound to get some great shots. Here are a ...
