School is out for summer! This is a great time to get shots of your kiddo enjoying their break doing what they do best: playing! Visit your favorite jungle gym to serve up the positive energy in your child’s modeling portfolio. This showcases your child in a setting natural to them or a place they can feel comfortable. Use the slide for a smiley snap, or the monkey bars for an upside-down-and-right-side-up side-by-side shot! The fun they are having can't help but show up in the images!
What better way to capture the summer than to soak up the sunshine! Summertime comes with countless ways to accessorize. Lather your little one with sunscreen and keep it handy as a prop for your photo. Pair a scene with a parasol to offer up a warm-weather theme and some visual interest. In another shot, play around with fun sunglasses or cute hats to show that the sun is shining and so is your little one!
Salty hair, umbrellas, and seashells galore! With a seemingly endless amount of props, the beach is the perfect place to get summer pictures for kids that turn up the fun or bring out the drama. Build a sandcastle or splash around in the waves to show some lively action. To let the outfit speak a little louder, play dress up in formal wear for a more intense look or dress down in beachwear for a wholesome, happy vibe.
Sugary props can bring on nostalgia that we simply can’t get enough of. So go ahead and freeze the frame with a treat as sticky and sweet as your little one! What says summer more than ice cream and popsicles? And what quicker way to bring on a smile than to unwrap their favorite frozen feast? For a nighttime shoot, capture the essence of a campfire with a smushy s’mores party. The ooey gooey will leave viewers oohing and aahing.
Whatever your little one’s favorite sport is, summertime is a great opportunity to show off their athleticism. Grab a ball, board, club, or racket to add some visual punch to your photoshoot, and move around for some action shots. Suiting up with activewear in your child’s model portfolio is a great way to help sporty brands imagine your child working in their campaign. So strap on those sneakers and show them what you’re made of!
