Hi everyone! I have been taking all kinds of different pictures lately. Usually I just photograph objects but I started doing kids like my brother and family friends ! I would like some people to post theirs so I can get some ideas!
Here is mine:

Child portraiture is my passion, my own kids are too. When having to pose kids for family shots, I keep it fun (I am known to pull out funny masks and props to make the smiles genuine.) But when I can, I like kids to be candid and let their personalities shine.
I like to get shots of children's faces when they are not smiling - you see their features much more clearly I think. My fav picture of my elder daughter (not taken by me) is when she was scowling. I still love it! This one is my friend's little girl who wasn't in a great mood at the time!
My son is at the age where when he tries to smile, it looks like a grimace, or he just makes a face. Getting shots where he is preoccupied seems like the best solution.
It's been said already - just let them do what they do and try and capture it. I try not to post too many of my daughter, as it would be too easy just to flood my project with photos of her, but some of my favourites are the ones of her.

Goofing around on the floor. This certainly creates natural hilarity :o)
At play
Or when they reno your kitchen without asking:
When they dig holes in the yard:
Or the biggest one of all.... get drunk at a wedding and start fights over his woman...
or for that matter pull out the dirty dancing moves at a wedding...
I guess what I am saying is the same thing that was said above... let the kids set the mood and you capture it...
