Product shoots with young children

I finally had a chance to photograph my most adorable niece, Grace, with my Pixie Suzie collection. Having a model is really important for some products such as hair accessories and clothing, especially for online businesses because consumers want to see how your product will look when they put them on. They may not be able to visualise very well if there isn't a model. I knew I needed that for Pixie Suzie and that I know is the toughest part. I am never a superb photographer myself and neither is my hubby. Shooting the products on their own its pretty easy but when it comes to putting them on a model and when it is a child model, it becomes extremely tricky.

Grace is such a sweet little 2 year old but being a toddler her attention span is naturally short and they can't quite take instructions yet. So I knew we had to take candid shots of her while she was playing. We took loads of it but only a handful turned out ok. Thanks to Picasa, a free photo editing software, we managed to put together a fairly decent collage of all the better pictures after loads of adjustments. We definitely need more practice :)
