I've recently volunteered to take photos for an organization that provides laptops/webcams for children who are homebound because of cancer treatments which lets them stay connected to their classrooms and friends.
The organization wanted me to take photos of some of these kids for promotional/sponsorship material and are going to provide some children who agreed to be photographed.
I've done portrait photography before so I'm not concerned on that end - it's getting any possible kids who might suddenly become camera shy when I show up since they'll have no hair (apparently there's been a couple cases of this in other instances).
Anyone have any tips if they've done something similar? A plus on my end is I have shaved head but I'm also aware of how awkward it can feel to lose one's hair. I figured I could use baseball caps or other headgear, but just wanted to throw a net for additional ideas.
