Toddler Photography Tips: Creating Magic with Little Boys

Creating Magic with Two Busy Little Boys: Tips for Photographing Toddlers

Photographing toddlers is always an adventure — and when you add two spirited two-year-old twin boys into the mix, you have to be ready for anything!

During a recent session, these adorable brothers kept me on my toes. They had a mind of their own, full of energy and curiosity, which is exactly what you expect (and love) at this age. Their Grammy later admitted she doubted whether we were able to capture anything at all — but just wait until you see the photos! The session turned out to be pure magic, filled with laughter, movement, and unforgettable moments.

Tip Number One: Use Props or Toys to Catch Their Attention!

When photographing two-year-olds — especially twins — it’s important to have something that immediately catches their interest. Some ideas that work like a charm:

  • A colorful tricycle or bike.

  • And the ( When you want one last shot) prop, cookies!

Tip Number Two: Giving toddlers a “job” to do also helps keep them engaged and creates natural, joyful expressions. Try things like:

WHO WANTS TO FEED THE BABY DUCKS?

LOOK AT THE PRETTY FLOWERS.  WHO WOULD LIKE TO PICK ONE?

CAN YOU PUSH YOUR BROTHER ON THE BIKE?

TIP NUMBER THREE

HAVE HELPERS ON HAND!

This is the most important tip of the day!  

During this session, their Grammy and Aunt played a huge role in keeping the boys together and helping guide them back when they wandered. Having a couple of extra adults who the children know and trust can make all the difference — especially when working with more than one busy toddler. With their help we were able to get these adorable moments.

TIP NUMBER FOUR: Remember: Toddlers Are in Charge

I always tell parents ahead of time: When working with a two-year-old, they are absolutely in charge.
You follow their lead because when a toddler decides they are finished, the session is over — no exceptions!
And when you're photographing two two-year-old boys, it's double the fun and double the challenge.

But with a little patience, lots of creativity, extra hands, and a flexible attitude, you can capture beautiful, genuine moments that families will treasure forever.
