Keeping toddlers happy during a photoshoot

Timing around naps, snacks that won’t stain and why letting children play gives the best photographs.

By DK · Founder & Photographer

Book around their rhythm

Choose a time after a nap and a meal. A rested, fed toddler is the best start to any session.

We use child-led prompts and gentle games instead of asking little ones to sit still. Some of the best frames happen between poses.

A favourite toy, a non-staining snack and water make breaks easy. Our studio has room for children to reset.

“Children can move. We guide the moments in between.”
