It is also possible to carry out photo session of babies up to a year . The photos are very cute and touching. This could be the moment extracts from the hospital , photo session at home, in a photo studio or outdoors.
Babies at this age sleep most of the time, but this, on the contrary, will add even more tenderness to the photos. You can put them in a beautiful bed or basket, make the image light and airy. Such photographs are, first of all, a memory of the best, happiest and most carefree times.
Moreover, it is possible to christening photography your baby in church. When shooting in this way, in order for the photos to turn out beautiful, it is very important to take into account the lighting and the size of the room. The photographer also needs to do his job very carefully so as not to interfere with the course of the sacred rite.
Even experienced professional photographers in minutes peace of mind prefer to consider not highly artistic photographs, but those pictures where there are relatives, acquaintances, friends or themselves. What can we say about the majority of amateurs who primarily shoot in order to capture best moments own life.
But anyone who picks up a camera strives to take photographs that would satisfy very specific criteria. First, they must be of high quality, that is, everything must be clearly visible in the pictures. Secondly, they must tell about the event in the best possible way. It is not enough to make a simple portrait, it is necessary to capture the action, for example, a child who is in his usual environment, interacting with other children. Well, the third - the artistry of photography.
The artistry of the image will make this photo interesting not only for you, because it serves as a kind of reminder, such as “I was here”, but also for others to whom you want to show it.
Let's take a look at how to prepare for shooting an event like a kid's party to leave impressions for yourself and encourage other parents to buy all your photos if that's the goal.
Training
The first part of the material is dedicated to those who already have a good reflex camera or mirrorless, but with interchangeable lenses and the possibility of manual settings. You need to start preparing for photography at home and just before the holiday.
- Premises in kindergartens in Russia are most often quite large, but only in relation to the size of the children themselves. For adults and the photographer in particular, they are not very large, and therefore the lens should be used with focal lengths of 24-70 or one that includes these focal lengths. For private kindergartens, where a matinee can take place at all small room, such as an apartment, a lens with a focal length of about 16-35 will not interfere.
Of course, you can shoot a holiday with any other lens, say, a 50 mm prime, but most likely you will later regret that somewhere you didn’t capture the whole scene completely, and somewhere you couldn’t get close enough to make an emotional portrait.
- If you're shooting photos, not video, forget about a tripod. There is nothing more boring than an event filmed from one vantage point. Move more, change angles.
- Lighting. We'll have to forget about the direct flash mounted directly on the camera. Unless in a hopeless situation, you can put it on, preferably 20x30 cm.
An ideal choice would be to use a remote softbox, with which you can diffuse the light so that the flash does not hit your forehead. Such softboxes are used by professional photographers to shoot events (club parties, weddings, corporate events, etc.) indoors. Using a softbox with a flash makes it possible to add light where there is little of it, to control lighting, and through this to do good shots regardless of the position of the sun or how bright the chandelier shines.
- Stock up on a sheet of A4 paper. It is not necessary to bring a pen or pencil. A simple piece of paper will suffice.
So, you are there. Your actions
If you came to the matinee without delay, you will definitely have five minutes to look around and start work.
So the instruction:
- Pay attention to the lighting and windows in the room. If the holiday takes place in the morning or afternoon at good lighting, then try to sit next to the window. This way you will shoot children from the illuminated side. This will give +100 to the quality of your photos in advance.
- Talk to the teacher. Of course, you can move around the room without his permission, but the teacher will feel calmer, will not pay attention to you, and it is highly likely that he will tell you in advance where the main action will take place.
- Be sure to pay attention to the curtains and walls of the room. Most often they are very warm tones. It is not at all a fact that your camera will automatically perceive the shades correctly, which means it is better to set the white balance in advance.
Perform a magical act. Take out the sheet of paper that you prepared, place it in the place where the event will take place directly and take a picture so that the sheet fills the frame completely. See what happened. If white paper turns yellow, go to the camera settings in the white balance section and select manual white balance.
As an example, which the camera should be guided by, indicate the captured image of the sheet. Then take another photo of the same piece of paper. If everything is done correctly, whatman paper on the screen of your camera will be white. In order not to look clumsy at the matinee, practice doing this trick at home. The instruction manual for the camera is very helpful in this case.
What should a photographer do when the matinee has begun
- As long as you're shooting from the window, you don't have to use the flash, but as soon as you need to move around, you should pick up the flash in your hands or put on a softbox on it. Only then can you move forward. Actually, this technical preparation is over.
- Usually matinees do not last long and the lighting conditions do not change, and therefore we can assume that technically you are already ready for photography, then the only question is how you will get into focus, how correctly you compose the frame, and so on. We deal with this further.
How to choose a place to shoot a matinee
Try to position yourself in such a way that it is convenient to shoot both children and spectators. Focus on the host of the celebration or educator. As a rule, children's eyes are fixed on them and, being nearby, you can easily catch direct glances full of delight, surprise or joy. 
What to photograph at a children's party
At a children's party, it is important to take pictures of all the kids and fairy tale characters who participate in the celebration. Do not miss the opportunity to take as many pictures as possible, and do not forget about your parents. Their quivering faces and looks must fall into the lens of the photographer's camera.
Pay attention to details. Children's holidays usually have beautiful decorations: Christmas toys, light garlands, colorful tinsel and many others. beautiful jewelry... Every little thing allows you to convey the atmosphere of a matinee and high spirits of a child.
During dances and outdoor children's games, it is desirable that the shutter speed be no longer than 1/200, otherwise you will get motion blur. Avoid too high - they make photos noisy. The capabilities of each camera are different, on average the optimal ISO range is 200-600 units.
Another must-have element of the holiday selection is a group photo. When the solemn part is over, it's time to gather the whole group and take memorable pictures with the teacher, separate shots with parents and teachers. And for this, again, you will need a tutor and the contact that you make at the beginning of the matinee will be very useful.
You can put a row of chairs on which to seat adults, and place the children around. Thus, several tiers will be visually created and, if photographed from an upper angle (stand on the same chair or a small hill), then everyone will fit in the frame and everyone will be clearly visible.

These are staged shots, so the photographer can determine in advance the most successful place, choose the lighting and settings, and come up with an original placement. The most important thing then is to work quickly, because after an active matinee, it will not work to calm the kids and attract their attention for a long time.
Last Tips
by Aryan Jamshidi
- Pay attention to angles when photographing children. Change angles more often, if you are not very experienced, duplicate shots from different angles.
- Be aware of height differences when shooting. Feel free to bend over, squat, or shoot from a small chair so that the children's faces are at the level of the lens. This technique alone will make many of your shots boring.
- Children are always beautiful, but still, do not shoot them with a wide-angle lens at close range. Do not position the camera so that facial features are distorted.
- With the exception of a couple of formal portraits and a general group photo, do not try to get a shot in which the child is looking directly into the lens.
- Often photographers-moms and dads, being carried away by photographing, forget that they came to the holiday. Do not be a detached observer, try to actively participate in what is happening in order to feel the atmosphere of joy.
Where else but in kindergarten and the school can capture so much unpredictability, sincerity and joyful emotions. Only here you can see the real smiles of happy children among their friends. Our experienced photographer in kindergarten and school will always help to capture them in photographs during matinees and various celebrations.

My name is Pavel Bogdanov and my main activity is photography in kindergartens. I work where parents don’t go: at children’s classes, physical education, a walk ... I play games for children on my own, come up with fun photo tasks, and as a result, I get live pictures that I want to look at. The most important thing in my approach to photography is contact with children, warm and friendly relations, fun game. Photobooks of graduates are created from the pictures, like these:
I make such photobooks for kindergartens
At the same time, the spreads are devoid of photoshop photographs, excessive cartoon embellishments and other things. Instead, each page is based on snapshots. And I don't have to look for clients on my own, because they find themselves, mainly thanks to word of mouth.
I told more about photobooks on a separate site: Photobooks of kindergarten graduates.
I didn’t come to kindergarten photography right away: I used to associate kindergarten photography with harsh uncles-bombs, who are firmly connected by an unspoken agreement with the heads, pay them kickbacks, and the heads in exchange arrange “voluntary-compulsory” sales of photographs to parents. It’s just that the parent is confronted with the fact that there will be photography on such and such a date, after which the photographer takes 1-5 photos of each child in a beautiful dress, cuts it out of the background, substitutes it in an incredibly beautiful (according to the photographer) frame, prints it out and gives it to the nursery garden. And then the teachers offer parents to buy photos.
At the same time, the price per picture is usually unreasonably high, but parents still buy photos, knowing that otherwise the printed photos of their children will end up in the trash, and no one wants this. Practice shows that photo sales with this approach reach 80%. At the same time, the photo material at the output has a rather mediocre quality, if not worse.
Red, yellow, unsharp faces, dubious angles, lack of emotion on the face of a child, or just a tense grimace: "Get off me!" - that's all that the classic kindergarten bomber does in kindergartens.
It is for the above reasons that I never thought of trying to work in kindergartens. He photographed reports at children's matinees, filmed concerts, birthdays in cafes and restaurants, but not a foot in kindergartens.
Everything changed when I accidentally stumbled on Youtube video tutorials on baby photography by the coolest baby photographer and psychologist with many years of experience. Igor Gubarev. The first video that I clearly remember was this:
I remember very well how I was amazed, surprised, even shocked by how easily, naturally and cheerfully Igor photographs children, how he gains confidence in them and overcomes modesty, excessive violence, non-contact of children. It became very interesting.
Therefore I found all video of Igor, which could be found on the network. Most of them were not posted on Igor's channel. Presumably, in many cases, not with the consent of Igor. Which only fueled my zeal. After reviewing everything I could in one week, I caught fire with the thought: I also want to photograph children! I want to make photos fun and playful, I want to do this all the time.
At the same time, I signed up for Igor's master class in St. Petersburg, and at the same time I began experimenting with game photography. The first child I had a chance to photograph was Vasya. Vasya was three years old that day, he was constantly congratulated and distracted. Nevertheless, it turned out to establish some kind of contact and take a few photos.
I continued looking for children, experimenting and taking pictures, asking myself to be a photographer for children's events, playing with my friends' children. The first shootings in kindergartens appeared, and that's when I finally realized that this was mine!
The main ideas that stayed in my head:
- No need to be forced. You need to take pictures so that your parents themselves bring you to kindergarten.
- We must learn to work with children from the position of an animator, psychologist and teacher, and not a photographer.
- Children must forget that they are being photographed!
- You must always be human.
Based on these simple principles, I managed to find the first orders for shooting in kindergartens, shooting eight kindergarten groups literally in the first two months of work. It quickly turned out to create the first .
At this stage, it turned out that working with groups of children is always more fun, easier and more productive than with one child. It also turned out that Igor was 100% right: parents should not be present at the photo session!
It was very hard at first: had to learn a lot psychological tricks, work on mistakes, carefully plan each new shooting, analyzing all the previous ones. But already from the first self-shooting, I realized the main thing: I really like it! Leaving the kindergarten after six hours of work, I felt exhausted, exhausted, but very happy and satisfied. With each new shooting, the result became better, less fatigue, and the process brought more and more joy. Soon I started making photobooks of graduates, and created a separate website for them.
Every time I took the subway back home, I analyzed the past hours of work, scrolling through my head the strong and weak sides past shooting, and made notes in my head:
- Here overheated the children, it was necessary to cool a little
- At that moment, it was necessary to attract their attention with mindfulness games
- Extension should be shorter
- Portraits need to be done much faster
- Parents should be instructed to bring their children earlier than usual whenever possible.
- A free gymnasium must be agreed in advance
There were a lot of these moments, but I corrected my mistakes very quickly.
Thus, in 2 months I managed to more or less develop a shooting algorithm and methods of interaction with children, to find out the types of photographs that are in the greatest “demand”. I did the first shooting with one rental lens Nikkor 24-70, but in two months I managed to save up for my own 24-70 and 80-200 2.8. Rather, I initially got into a little debt, but paid it off in one month. In the meantime, the season was over and I was already swarming with ideas for next year. I started a separate site for photo albums fotoigra.com, started writing articles on children's photography, began to make non-commercial game shootings with children 6-7 years old. Done group in contact.
Thanks to articles about baby photography, my site shot up in the search for some key queries, and I began to receive orders for reportage shooting, which helped a lot in late May and June. Thanks to my friend and photographer Roman Barabonov, I received several more orders for reportage and concert photography. In general, it started. But I digress from photography in kindergartens.
About how to organize photography in kindergarten, I was asked to write an article a long time ago. And I promised everything and put it off. Because writing a good article requires some special attitude, an inner push. And here he just wasn't there.
But today I will fulfill the promise and tell you how to arrange shooting in kindergarten, what hours are best to take pictures, what to take with you for work, and I will try to cover some minor technical issues.
In this article, I will not touch on the description of cameras, lighting, as well as the subtleties of setting up equipment. All these are topics for future articles.
Today we will analyze only the very organization and conduct of photographing children to transfer their photos to a mug, plate, puzzles or T-shirt.
