Posing ideas for a brother and sister?

[threeinthenest]

Hello POTNers!
I have a sibling shoot this week, a girl-age 9, and a boy-age 6. This is my first time to shoot more than one kiddo at a time, so far I have only worked with singles! Any suggestions on posing would be so appreciated! Thanks.

There has to be at least one shot with some simulated turmoil....even playful turmoil.

Maybe put them back to back, each standing with arms crossed looking mad (if you can keep them from giggling when you ask them to do it.) Maybe Tug-o-war?

Something showing them cooperating, maybe the older child pushing the younger on a swing or reading a book together?

A Simulated Hide & Seek is always fun... one in focus in the foreground, the other leaning with eyes covered against a tree in the background (or vice versa with the hider peeking out from a corner in the background and the counter in focus.

I like catching them acting natural too, like playing a video game. You get some adorable faces (tongues out, eyes crossed etc) when they are trying to get that Mario Cart around the track.

Just a few ideas I have had for kids....
