  • Engaging with Children: Photographers need to be able to connect with children on their level, using games, toys, or stories to make them feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera.
  • Capturing Moments: The photographer's primary goal is to capture candid, spontaneous moments that reflect the child's personality and interests. This might involve capturing playtime, interactions with family or friends, or special events.
