We want your beach portrait to be a pleasant
experience for you and everyone in your group. If children are
prepared ahead of time they know what to expect and usually behave better.
We have compiled a list of tips that we received from
parents of past beach shoots on how they successfully prepared
their kids for their beach portrait.
- Talk to your kids (no matter what
their ages). If kids know what to expect ahead of time,
they can mentally prepare for what is to come and are
more patient during your beach portrait session. Be sure
to let children know . . .
- You are going to have some pictures taken
on the beach.
- Many pictures will be taken.
- They will need to listen to you.
- They will need to take directions from
a stranger (the photographer).
- Anything else you feel will prepare your
children.
- Offering rewards . . . It's been our experience that children not only behave better but get excited about the prospect of receiving a reward after the photo shoot. Ice Cream seems to be the reward of choice for more families. What would work best with your kids?
A trip to the arcade, an extra hour of TV. You know your
children best and what will work for them.
- The Final 4 - Make sure your kids:
- Are well fed.
- Are well rested.
- Have an empty bladder (No bathroom on the beach)
- Have Mom bring a snack & Beverage
