Awww... My friend's 2 years old daughter

It was my first time shooting children this young so it was quite an experience for me in kids photography. She kept on running around so chasing her to get a good shot was a challenge for me. Before the shoot, her dad bought her a boba tea to get her energized at the park :D. One thing I learned from this shoot when compared with shooting models is the Expression of the kid is everything to the image :).

Learning to keep the attention of a toddler is what separates the master photographer from the occasional child shooter. It is a skill that you can learn from others but have to practice to get perfected.
Just imagine trying to photograph dozens of these rug rats in a day. If you chased them all around you'd need hospitalization.

These are good images.

What a CUTIE!!!

I love them all, but especially 1, 3, 11, and 13.

Great job!!!

Excellent work! I don't know that you need much more advice, as several of these shots exemplify what I would've suggested ... with an active kid you need to either place them where they feel safe and don't want to move (for at least a minute or two) or have someone else help you wrangle the subject. You did that in several, even if you didn't know it was a good idea.

Very nice! 11 is my favorite.
