[:en]Iskra was one of those newborns whose gender you could recognize at the first glance. She is a girly girl. Those beautiful eyes, small nose and lips… a true lady was born! I’ve been photographing her since she was only 4 months old (excluding her mommy’s maternity photos). This beauty is 2 years old now, and already a fashionista. Iskra enjoys playing in her mom’s closet. That charming childhood game has been recorded in these pictures which can be of great help to all parents who contemplate on how to dress up a child for a photo shoot.
Iskra and her mom have chosen a little white short sleeved dress with a bow belt. The girl was sweetly proud when she put it on and walked in all dressed up. A light color gown makes every toddler glow. If you add an interesting hair pin to the look, you will have a junior top model. Iskra is a toddler who loves to get hairdo.
Why the little girls are so irresistibly cute Iskra showed us by wearing mommy’s hats. Moments like this are to be shot in B&W technique.
Every girl has her favorite accessory from her mother’s box. Baby’s favorites are most commonly high heels, bracelets, hats… All these items make the best props for child photography. Most parents pick those by their intuition so it is not rare that a pic or two with these details end up in the family albums. If you use props in a creative way, you will have a fantastic photo story.
If you wonder how to dress up a child for a professional photo session, for starters go together to your closet and pick clothes that suits you best. Just keep on your mind one advice – do not wear patterns, stick to solids. Less is more.
Always make sure to provide a child with something to nibble on, because it needs to refill its energy during the break. Even if they chew, still they are cute enough for the photos.
[:sr]Iskra je od one dece za koju ste nepogrešivo, na prvi pogled, i od prvih dana života, znali da je devojčica. Okice, nosić, ustašca, gusta kosica… ma, prava damica. Nju sam fotografisala prvi put kada je imala četiri meseca, ako ne računamo ono slikanje kada je bila još u maminom stomaku. Ova lepotica sada ima nepune dve godine, i izraženi osećaj za modu. Iskra veoma uživa igrajući se u maminom garderoberu. Taj izuzetno šarmanti momenat nalazi se i na novim fotografijama, koje su prava inspiracija za sve mame koje se pitaju kako da obuku i pripreme svoje devojčice za fotografisanje.
Iskra je zajedno sa mamom izabrala belu haljinicu kratkih rukava i mašnom u struku. Bila je baš onako preslatko, dečje, ponosna kad ju je obukla i pokazala svima nama. Haljinica u svetloj nijansi svaku devojčicu čini da zablista, a ako tom izgledu dodate i pokoju mašnicu u kosi, imaćete pravog malog modela. Iskra mnogo voli šnalice i rado pristaje da joj se prave frizure.
Koliko su devojčice slatke, pokazala nam je Iskra noseći mamine šešire. Ovakvi momenti zaslužili su da budu ovekovečeni u crno-beloj tehnici i u retro stilu. Svaka devojčica ima svoj, odnosno mamin, omiljeni modni detalj. Vrlo često su to, i to u već najranijem uzrastu, cipele na štiklu, narukvice, šeširi… Sve to je savršena rekvizita i inspiracija za predivne dečje fotografije. Roditelji to već, intujitivno znaju, pa neka takva fotografija često zaluta u porodičnom albumu. Međutim, ako se rekvizita dobro upotrebi, od toga nastaju prava umetnost i foto-priča.
Ako se pitate kako da obučete i pripremite dete za profesionalno fotografisanje, za početak, zajedno sa svojim mališanom prošetajte do ormana i zajedno izaberite kombinaciju koja vam prija i koja vam je zabavna. Bitno je da izbegavate šarene materijale, i da se vodite time da je jednostavnije bolje, odnosno da birate jednobojne komade.
Uvek imajte pri ruci i neki keksić, jer mališani vole da se zaslade i naprave pauzu tokom druženja sa fotografom. Takvi trenuci takođe daju slatke fotografije!
