How to get great photos when children are not cooperating !

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to deliver stunning photos to your clients and the children do not want to cooperate.  There are allot of little tricks and tips to do when photographing families. The kids do not always want to look your way or even acknowledge you are there sometimes. This makes for an extremely hard job.

I like to take the time to try and get the kids interested in something else. In these photos we were outdoors so it didn't take much to find something the boys were interested in. 

Snapping a few shots while they are just playing and doing whatever they like is great. This makes for wonderful natural photos. 

This was a great article with allot of great tips.
