Tips for posing kids quickly

Simple Posing with Kids
Whether you are photographing your kiddos for their end of the school year photo, or taking those first pictures by the pool, I have 3 easy poses you can do for each kiddo in under a minute! 

 1. Stand: Girls - Place one foot in front of the other facing the camera, hold edges of dress or shorts and sway. 

 Boys - One hand in pocket, one down at the side 

 2. Arms: Girls - Place one arm across your waist and rest your other arm/elbow on it. You have one hand up to put under your chin, or play with hair. 

 Boys - Fold arms across chest 

 3. Crouch: Girls - Show them how to put two feet together and get into a crouching position while bringing their dress under them to semi sit. 

 Boys - Have them crouch, one knee up, one knee down. 

 One of the great things about posing is that everyone is going to put their own little spin on how they take your instructions, and this is good because it becomes individual and gives variety to your photos even though you are doing the same poses for each kiddo!
