How to wrangle a two-year old I just finished photographing a two-year old but he never sat still. I shoot digitally now and shot an enourmous amount of photos, but I edited them down to only 10 that I really liked. He never sat still, ran around the backdrop so I just tried to shoot more "on the go" photos. The only good shots I got were head shots but I wanted full body in his little jeans with no shirt--he was so cute...but it just didn't work. This was more of a practice run because I just got new lights, and my friend and I decided he was done, but I would have liked to have gotten more of a variety of shots. I mean only 10 out of about 75 is pretty bad. Since this was a practice it wasn't that big of a deal, but what happens if this is an actually paying client? What can I do in a situation like that. When I can't fire off many good shots or get the variety I'm hoping to present to the client. Tell the Mom we will reschedule at no charge?? Thanks!!

Small Children can be a challenge, but things like Holding Props and Posing Tables will help. Any time you can lift a small child or pet off the floor you will gain controll. They are now worried about leaping. and thier "Playing field " is now quite smaller. I have found Grooming Tables to be a cheaper way to get a quality Posing table. Using 1 is good 2 is really nice. Do keep safty in mind, A parent should be next to the table at all times for a child or pet. Holding Props are abjects that hold a child and that usually they have fun being in as well.
