How to Have Fun During Your Session

One of the things I hear the most while I am on location, is that someone is just not photogenic and taking photos is not fun. Do you wonder how to have fun during your session?

Everyone is photogenic in their own way. And we can make anything fun! You just have to have fun and be you!

So here are a few ways to have fun during your photo session.

1. Be spur of the moment. – Do fun things and be a little crazy. The more fun you have, the better it is going to look in the photos, especially with kids.
2. Do something – Have a family activity like reading, tickling, playing ball. Whatever is something that your family would regularly do, let’s do that. It will look natural and you will all be together is a small space.
3. Tell jokes – Even bad jokes make people laugh. So I love jokes. Even little kid jokes, which are usually the only ones I can remember. 🙂
4. Go some place different – I tend not to go to the regular parks for sessions, because they are full of photographers. Let’s go to Target or your favorite coffee shop. Different is good, right? I always ask for permission, don’t worry. You don’t want your family images to look just like everyone else.
5. Move – When in doubt, just move. Dance, jump, do something! Kids do it. Why can’t you?
6. Be with friends – your best furry friend. I absolutely love dogs. So if your family has a well-behaved dog, bring him or her along. It is a sure fire way to put a little fun in any situation.
