Over simplified perhaps but still relevant. Each photo has the subject doing something mostly holding something, and the simple rule with that is keep a subject occupied and they that part of their brain that is worried about the camera gets caught up in whats happening and hey the natural look. Its true think about it or just give it a go. Take a photo with the person stand in front of you and then give them something to hold, take another picture.. compare. There are other methods and ways but they all follow the same rule. My example here is a baby portrait set, see how she is always looking at the camera, and its when she is interested in the camera the shot becomes interesting for us, and of course natural. if you disagree tell me so. http://dsdphotography.co.za/two-month-kia/ So in a nutshell all that’s being said is find a “prop”.

I wonder, if you began with "goofy" shots such as silly faces, jumping, odd poses if it would loosen up the clients quicker??? Therefore, getting all those nervous feelings out, release those emotions (which are energy) and allowing the calm, loving, happy emotions to come into the picture?? Any advice?
