acting her age

:o What are some poses that a 9 or 10 year old girl can do that don't look provacative or "mature"? My neighbor wants me to shoot her daughter. The kid has had a bit of modeling experience. Every time I take pictures of her she goes into gyrations that make me a little uncomfortable. Some of these movements and poses would make a pole dancer proud. She is innocent but believes this is how models act. Her mom is with her the whole time. Our next seesion will be indoors using a couple of strobes and a black or white background. How come little girls can't act like little girls until they are big girls? Any tips?

Thanks.

Bloo Dog,

Thanks for your advice.

Pose her blowing bubbles, or blowing against a pinwheel. Toys like that always bring out the little girl in her.

what does she and her mum want out of it. At 9/10 she is very much beyond the child pose stage but I would have thought she will want the pictures to capture that innocence.
