Default Help!!!! Posing an 18, 4,3 & baby

Hi

I have (finally) persuaded my 18-year-old to spare me some of her precious time to get a photo of my 4 children. I have a 18, 4,3 and a nearly 4 month old. We are hoping to go outside but English weather isn't great at the mo so may have to be indoors (good window lights but not much room).

To complicate matters Chloe is pregnant and would like to avoid her 7 month bump in the photo's (probably have her holding the baby) and the 3 year old isn't friends with the camera.

Not a big ask, should be quite easy!!!!!

Thanks for any help and advice.

Nikki

Get some white foam core board for reflecting some of that window light so your shadows won't be too...shadowy...
The bigger the window the better!
As far as the 3 year old...get a fabric hair scrunchie and glue some craft googly eyes and make a moppet face for your lens.
Google "Lens Buddy" if Im being confusing...which is usually the case!
Anyway, maybe it would help with the 3 yr. old =)
