When it comes to photography, I try my best to make it a positive experience for kids. Photos should be fun, and reflect their bright or moody or sassy or shy or whatever season their little personality is currently navigating. Photobooths are the perfect opportunity for kids- to be kids. I invited the cousins over for a few photos and of course they smiled and sat for me like little gentlemen. But then we pulled out the props and got a little silly. This is a fun and easy activity for any family get together. Grab one of the older kids and put them in charge of the camera. Find a blank wall or cover a wall with some tacky gift wrap. You can find the awesome free printables I used here: http://ohhappyday.com/2011/12/holiday-photobooth-props-free-printable/  Of course the kids will hog the booth all night long, but don’t forget to make the adults loosen up and get in there too. There’s a kid inside ready to have their picture taken! 🙂
