This comprehensive resource provides insight into the strategies needed to devise and implement creative, flattering poses for children of all age groups, from newborns through preteens. Posing options are organized around the logical age groupings of babies, toddlers, children, and groups. An investigation of the impact of the color, texture, and shape of the posing prop on the image is included, as are ways to effectively use the parent as a prop for babies who are too young to support a pose. Strategies for working with on-the-go clients are detailed, such as having attention-getting playthings on hand that engage subjects, add dimension to the portrait, and ensure a better-posed image. Interactive games that capture and hold the attention of toddlers are described, and ideas for earning the trust of this subject group are also covered. Photographers will benefit from advice for working through tantrums, tears, and willful independence—skills that, while not in the realm of posing education, have a positive impact on the photographer's ability to captivate the desired pose.

There are plenty of shots throughout the book for posing ideas. There is a description for each photo explaining the pose. I felt some of these descriptions were lacking- it might give a general description which wouldn't tell you more than what you could already see from just looking at the photo (e.g. in this pose we gave her a basket to play with which complemented her attire). I was hoping the book would include more "rules" about posing rather than a play-by-play for each photo. Some of the photos are "dated" also. Still, there is some good information and things to consider when dealing with children at different ages.

I bought this book for my daughter who has been working as a professional photographer for about three years. She really liked this book for giving her great ideas and the text is very helpful, too. The picutres are really great and I know she benefitted from having this book.
