When people buy cameras, the main subject is found in home...the portrait, snapshot of mom,father,cousins, babies,friends come to mind...THE MEMORABLE FACES R MADE IN HOME...Shooting is made them to personally view their images.
2)TAKE PICTURE WHEN THE PERSONS ARE at their cool...The mom is tired, whole day and you want a snap....She may protest...taking portrait forcibly make her mood off, and your effort to shoot, mom,dad,brothers,sisters will go waste....If they feel relaxed, get the portrait to remember....The words 'comfortable,relaxed and curiosity on both sides, will relax the mood for a good portrait....AND A SMILE SAY THOUSAND WORDS.
3) NEXT ESSENTIAL is the light....I observed that the children upto 5-6 years get them photographed rather easily and when grow old many feel inhibited,...They run here and there & give u a good chase for nothing...If u catch them, they will make faces thus destroying the natural look. YES, early morning or late evening light will best help you...On camera flash works well, but renders flat lighting...Flat lighting faces hardly make a good picture....Better take pictures in shade...that provide better lighting and there is no squizzing eyes as may happen in sunlight....Verandah, the shadow beside a wall give good effect, changing your angle and the modelling light falling on their faces, say half face in shadow and half towards light.
The above picture I took under a cloth tent...no doubt the lighting is flate, but there is goggle with reflection is good enough to make a cropped potrait , as I went closure, and made a fisheye effect of face and the reflection in the goggle....If you have good relations with neighbours, you can approach the children first and including elder after few shots.
