Top Tips on Taking Better Photos of Your Children

If you want to capture dreamy portraits of your 9-year-old, the key is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment. Start by letting your child choose the location of the shoot. It can be a park, beach, or even in your backyard. Next, encourage your child to express themselves in the photos. Let them choose the poses and expressions they feel comfortable with. Use natural light to your advantage, and try to shoot during the golden hour, which is the hour after sunrise or before sunset.

With these tips, you’ll be sure to capture dreamy portraits of your 9-year-old that they will love.
