photography 102: working with kids

Sure! Here's the rewritten version of your content: --- Hey everyone, Today I'm super excited to share a guest post from Sarvi, one of our awesome moderators over in the discussion forums. She's been putting together a two-part series offering some fantastic photography advice. The entire concept for this series came about because we all put so much effort into our sewing, and it's always fun to showcase our completed projects within the online sewing community. In the first part of Sarvi's photography series, she focused on finding the perfect location to snap pictures of your handmade Oliver + S garments. Now, she's back with some invaluable tips to help you work with child models. Here's what she has to say—enjoy! --- ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/7efe69fc398dbcb38bed6a4cdf66515b.jpg) First things first, here's a list of my top four photography tips for capturing kids in action. **1. Preparation is Key** ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/4835ad58c509b4375831d6daf0ab4273.jpg) Let's face it—when dealing with kids, preparation is everything. Their patience and ability to stay still are limited, so make sure you've got all the boring details sorted out before involving them. Is your memory card ready? Are the clothes ironed and laid out? Have any props been set aside nearby? (Props are a big hit with kids—they can play with almost anything!) Only after you've handled all the logistical aspects should you involve the child, as nothing looks worse than a kid who was enjoying themselves just moments ago but now feels bored or restless. **2. Forget About Asking Them to "Smile"** ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/6b766858782e7659ab9c216ed4d809df.png) Sometimes those forced smiles are adorable! There's definitely room for asking your child to smile if you're looking to capture their cheesy, playful side—it's both sweet and funny. However, the best way to elicit a genuine smile is to do or say something genuinely amusing, like pulling a funny face, spinning a little story, or telling a joke. This isn't a movie scene where you need a million-dollar grin; kids have such expressive faces that even a subtle expression can look amazing. Try playing games like "I Spy," where they have to search for specific objects or point out things in the direction you want them to look. If all else fails, most kids love imitating others, especially if you act a bit silly—you'll likely get a laugh out of it! **3. Make the Most of Your Camera** ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/81b01f244efa7a63cfb9aecc40122b38.png) Snap quickly and often! You don't have to keep every shot, so feel free to keep clicking while chatting with your child. You can always delete the ones you don't need later. Some of the best moments happen when you least expect them, so keep your finger on the trigger and take plenty of photos. Another way to use your camera to your advantage? Kids love gadgets! Let them take a peek at the shots you've already taken—they might come up with creative ideas of their own. If you're focusing on showing off the stitching, consider taking standalone photos of the garments. After all, pictures of modeled clothes are as much about the child as they are about the outfit itself. **4. Bribery Works Wonders** ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/b10d345326dedcf6f4445279d483a43c.jpg) What's sitting untouched in your pantry? Crackers, lollipops, stickers, stamps, or maybe a prized trinket from a high shelf? Or perhaps some extra cash? Think about how important this photo session is to you and be willing to go the extra mile. --- And here's a sneak peek of what Sarvi managed to capture during her photo sessions! ![](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/ad0468775ed70ba068b4f4eef7e2f65f.jpg) I hope these tips help make the experience enjoyable for both you and your child, as I believe that enthusiasm really shines through in photos. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments—I'll do my best to assist you! --- Hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like any further tweaks.
