Location
This image was taken in my own backyard!Time
Slightly before golden hour.Lighting
I'm a perpetual fan of keeping things as natural as possible when I'm photographing children. I rarely use off camera flash and I use editing to mimic the look of it. I try to keep my subject with their back facing the sun.Equipment
For this picture, I only used my camera.Inspiration
My red headed little fire cracker and his brother love our ducks. Simply put, I couldn't help but to preserve their delirious giggles while holding their baby.Editing
I rely on editing to tell my story and to mimic lighting setups so as to keep the set up natural and so that I have easy access to chase the kiddos around.In my camera bag
I have all of the basic materials that most others. I do believe I had a jar of peanut butter in my bag because this was during the same time I shot my other son and our pet goat.Feedback
Have fun and keep it simple. When going into a shoot with children, it's best to keep expectations low and hope for the best. Children are incredibly unpredictable and it's best to follow their lead.
