Preparing your child at 5 month for a photos shoot.

Today I had a great 5 month old photo shoot. I attribute a portion of the success to the mother.  If the mother and child are ready and prepared for the shoot it will go smoothly. 

To prepare, the mother arrived with three outfits and a few other accessories.  I always say bring more than you need. Its better to have a variety of options.  The child was very alert and happy for the entire shoot. A photographers dream really.  The mother booked the appointment at a time she new would be good for her daughter.  It was a time of day that she was normally awake. The daughter had a nap before her photo shoot. The mother also brought her mom with her to help with the baby.  Its always a nice idea to bring someone to help if possible.  Bringing extra formula and snacks depending on the child's age is also a good idea. .  Halfway through the shoot we took a small break to feed the baby.  After a few minutes of rest and some food the baby was ready to go again.

Today was a great day.  Having a child that is ready to go for a photos shoot will make the shoot more enjoyable for everyone involved.  The resulting photo was just fabulous. Childrens and newborn photos would have to be some of my favorite.
