**Timing:**  

Toddlers are best photographed between 1-3 years, as their personalities begin to shine. Capture milestones like first steps, smiles, and expressions.

**Preparation:**  

– **Location:** Choose a familiar, comfortable setting—like a favorite park or home space. Natural light works wonders.

– **Outfits:** Dress them in playful, colorful outfits that reflect their personality.

**Capturing the Moment:**  

Engage them with toys or activities they love. Candid shots of them playing, laughing, or exploring will produce genuine expressions and joyful memories.

#### Tips for a Successful Shoot

– **Be Patient:** Kids may need time to warm up, so allow for breaks and play.

– **Involve Them:** Let toddlers choose a favorite toy or book to include in the shoot.

– **Stay Flexible:** Be ready to adapt to the child’s mood; spontaneity often leads to the best photos.
