So I have booked a photo session for 5 children and I am stuck on poses. I was hoping that someone could help! My problem is that 3 of the babies aren't even a year yet! Their ages are 8 years, 2 years, twins that are 8 months, and a 3 month old.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Jacki

Well, quite a challenge as their abilities are pretty different.
3-months old will be comfortable and funny in belly down - flying position, good mode will last longer if held by somebody in this position in the air. Will like to be naked, lying on back, with some tickling will do "karate" and very funny faces. Naked 3-months old will pose serious risk to your decoration :-).
8-months will possibly sit or crawl, can concentrate to an item or toy for a while.
Olders can be more dynamic, can express playful energy in motion... jumping, simple gymnastics, rope climbing/clinging...
Good luck!

Thank you for your help! I should i of said in the earlier post, I will be trying to pose the 5 children together. That's why I am having a hard time coming up with poses.

YIKES! Good luck. I had the same issue a couple weeks ago (But thank God it was a 6 months old that didnt crawl yet, so she sat nice) I really couldnt pose... I had them sit around a beanbag where the baby was laying, and then I stood on a step stool and took their photo from up in the air. (a noisy ,squeezy toy kept their attn on me) It was very realaxed and not a real formal pose.
Good Luck!!

We all ride on the shoulders of the giants. Take a look at some of the work of Anne Geddes. God knows how she makes it happen, but does she ever.
