Keep ‘em Moving. Don’t lollygag too much or little feet will get bored, stat. Give them an activity, “find this, race here, or skip, hop, jump”. If something isn’t working, don’t overwork a scene. Move on.

Do Squats. Get down on their level. Like literally, squat. It can help kids feel more at ease. BONUS – it’s good for your thighs!

Ridiculous Questions. Ask ridiculous (age-appropriate) questions or have them ask each other. “What color underwear does a monkey wear?” See if you can stop the uncontrollable laughter.

A Prop or Two can make things fun and encourage “the silly”. Umbrellas, lollipops, a sketch pad if you are near an iconic spot, or even simple pinwheels.

Pass the Power. Give them some control. “Do you want to walk towards the bridge or to the fountain?” Dare them to do something. “I bet you can’t wear a pineapple hat, jump over that rock!”

Be Patient. Their energy can wax and wane. Wait for the bursts and you will be rewarded.

Okay, so now you’ve got great kid photos covered. But can we please get YOU in the photo too?
