Photo session for kids from photographer Elena Haylak

A photo session for babies from 3 to 5 months is the ideal age for shooting if you have already missed the newborn period up to 14 days. At this age, the baby usually stops colic, but the period of wakefulness increases, which allows you to take many emotional and smiling shots. For a variety of pictures, the photographer uses the same props as for newborns, only a little larger - suits for larger children, a basket, a nest, artificial flowers, fabric or vinyl backgrounds, cute toys. If you prefer real shots with parents, and not in baskets, this photo shoot can be done in the style of life style. The photographer comes home to the baby at the agreed time. The shooting room requires a high air temperature (25-27 degrees) and free space under the window (about 2 * 2 m). The photographer places the background on the floor and after that puts the baby in a basket on the back, the child should be full and awake (for this the photographer arrives at a time convenient for the baby - just awake). At the end of the shooting, the baby may fall asleep, and the photographer will take several sleeping frames. This type of shooting does not imply specific posing, since the baby is no longer ready for this.

A photo session for a baby up to a year is carried out at the age of 7-10 months. Photographers call these kids sitters. And all because the child already knows how to sit confidently (and the shooting is carried out precisely after acquiring this skill), but does not run away yet and the whole photo session is fun and easy. At this age, kids are very emotional and smiling, and the photographer is a masterful way of making them laugh. A photo session should be carried out between dreams, preferably in the morning (while the baby is the most active and not tired), which allows you to make many beautiful and smiling frames. For a variety of pictures, the photographer uses props, as for newborns (buckets, baskets, cots), only now the baby does not lie in them, but sits. Suits for children are larger, taking into account the growth of your baby. Artificial flowers, vinyl backgrounds, cute toys and other decor are also used. If you prefer real shots with parents, and not in baskets, this photo shoot can be done in the style of life in your home or in a rented studio. The photographer comes home to the baby at the agreed time. The shooting room requires a high air temperature (24-26 degrees) and free space under the window (about 2x2 m). The photographer places the background on the floor and after that puts the baby in the props, the child must be full and awake (for this, the photographer arrives at a time convenient for the baby - just awake).
