Ahh the mighty toddler... often as the photographer, we are at the whim of their moods!! I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to help with their co-operation and I try to spend a good amount of time just chatting and connecting with them before I even pick up the camera. But you know what? Sometimes they just don't want to sit with the baby! And I totally get it - they've just had their little world changed forever, they are no longer the entire focus of their parents eyes, suddenly they have a new brother or sister who is taking up some of their spotlight. And sure, they love their new sibling, but they dont always want to be photographed with them. Don't feel bad if your toddler wont co-operate during their session, I can assure you its quite normal. When we have a little lady or gent who simply doesn't want to sit next to the new baby, we need to get creative. And that's where Photoshop and some creative posing comes to the rescue to give you those sibling photos that are so important! In this example, our gorgeous young man will happily pose calmly on his own - great! Look at those amazing eyes by the way! Next step - capture the cute baby brother on his own in the same background... And then finally, blend the two together, creating a composite image in Photoshop! This is another way to create sibling photos - photograph baby in the prop on their own... Sit sibling next to the empty prop - often a favourite toy, or a phone playing cartoons above my head will get them to look... Voila! Final image created as a composite! This is also the method I normally use with pets and newborns, nice and safe, especially for the nervous fur-babies. Want to know more? Contact me here now!
