I’ve been doing adult and family photography for sometime now, but today I’m photographing my first solo 1 year old. I’m a bit nervous because it’s a good client who has faith in my work! She just had this child a year ago, so I hope do well today :) this was so helpful!
What do you do when your child won't hold still for anything? If I were to sit him in that chair he would get right up and wander off anywhere he can! He's too difficult! 😭😭
For children like that (more active children) I would do more unposed shots. Basically follow them around, maybe see if they will climb onto a rock or low branch, play some hide and seek type games or bring props that they might be interested in. For boys I have a large radio flyer wagon, a plane prop or something similar that they would be interested in interacting with. Bubbles work great and a puppet works great too. Hope that helps too!
Shoot with what you have. Lighting and composition are always going to be the most important thing. You can try to shoot at your longest focal length to compress the background but that would mean you would be standing very very far away from your subject. I would probably suggest shooting at around 70-135mm and the lowest aperture that you are able to. Just make sure that you choose a good time of day for better lighting (ideally early in the morning or near sunset) and place your subject with their backs to the sun or in some shade to get even lighting on their face.
