Need some quick tips on child portraits!!!

[Photolistic]

I am going to be taking pictures of a 3 year old and this is my first kid.

Her and her dad who is my friend will be here in 3 hours please help!

Can I get some quick tips/ poses that would be good?

Thanks.

I don't know anythign about poses, but it seems kids love props! Doesn't seem to matter what the prop is either as long as you sell it as being interesting and fun:)

You need some props/toys. Here's some we did earlier this year:

Here is a shoot I did a few months ago with two 6-year olds and a 4-year old. Maybe you can get some pose or prop ideas. http://www.craftsbyvictoria.com/karalun/girls/

Good luck!

Use a small sized chair for him to sit in. Or, find something like a bale of hay, wood milk crate, or even a basket ball to sit on. You can add a small dog or cat if the boy is too fidgety to stop and pose. Give him a chance to let loose by having him dance for you. You and him being silly will get him to smile and giggle. Hope this helps.
