Children’s photography in Michigan - Capturing fun photos of kids

Filed under: Family and kids photos, Photo Business Blog Posts — prem @ 1:13 pm

Kids photography is one of the most fun kind of shoots out there.  Younger children are typically very candid and natural and they will run, play, giggle, etc. giving us endless opportunities for fun photos.
Our goal when doing photos of children is typically three things.
1) We want to get pictures of parents interacting with the children.
2) We want to have brothers and sisters playing together for some of the photos.
3) We would love to shoot individual pictures of each child while they are having fun.

For all three of the above goals, the most important thing is that all the photos are natural and fun and that everyone is having a good time.  We want REAL joy and laughter and want families to play together while we capture all the smiles, tickles, and giggles.

Here are a few images showing children’s photography where the kids and parents are interacting and having fun together.

Photos of dad playing tag with his little ones. This picture really makes me smile. I love this one because the family is all dressed like they normally would be which makes the photos even more real. Family photos in Grosse Pointe.

Along with photos of parents and children interacting with each other, we love to get photos of the kids playing together. In some cases there is just one child or there is a large age gap between kids which can make this more difficult, but when there are multiple kids that are similar in age, we always try to get some of these.

Here’s a photo of all the kids swinging together on the tire swing. Childrens photography in Grosse Pointe.

It can be tough to get a few kids together for a photo, but when you let them have fun and be themselves, it’s easier to get fun images.   Kids photos in Clarkston, MI.

We love to let kids be themselves and run and play. Photography of children in Rochester, MI at Van Housen Farms

Here’s another great image of a brother and sister having fun together. In a few more years, the kids won’t be playing like this again so it’s so great to be able to capture these images while they’re young. Kids photography in Rochester Hills

We always want the kids to be doing what they want to do because then they will be having the most fun which shows in the photos. Kids photography in Bloomfield Hills, MI

When using Arising Images for your family and childrens photography, as you can see from the photos above, we don’t shoot in a studio and do all of our shoots on location. This provides us more flexibility and more unique pictures as each photo shoot can be different. We do photo shoots for families everywhere from Ann Arbor, Northville, and Plymouth to the western part of Metro Detroit to Sterling Heights, Troy, Shelby, Birmingham, Royal Oak, and West Bloomfield which are central to metro Detroit and we’ve photographed families north to Lake Orion, Oxford, and Clarkston. We love going to new and different locations and having fun while getting great photos for young families.
