I would find ways to engage and listen to them. Sometimes, it does take a longer time to build up the trust. For a younger child, I frequently engage them with sensory play such as bubbles or peek-a-boo with curtains. <br>Finding out the interests of an older child is very helpful as well. Chatting about topics such as their favourite movie \/ character\/ food or songs are all proven ice-breakers.<br><br>I would also try to get such information from the parents before the sessions, so I would be better prepared.<br>Years ago, I met a child who really disliked flash lights, so the shoot was scheduled to be early in the morning and only pure natural light was used for the entire session. I also met a family with a special needs child who was very sensitive to loud noises. I made sure phones were muted and windows were firmly shut to keep out loud noises. I told myself to always speak only in a low measured tone as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, finding out the likes and dislikes of each unique family really gives them a better experience during the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/ohdearstudio.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/toddler-down-syndrome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2247\"\/><figcaption>5-year-old elder sister with her 1-year-old-twin younger siblings in Oh Dear Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/ohdearstudio.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/sibling-special-need-toddler.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2248\"\/><figcaption>Little toddler boy with his favourite sister in Oh Dear Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequent_concern_2_%E2%80%9CWould_you_be_posing_my_special_need_child_I_am_worried_he_will_not_be_taking_instructions_well_or_may_even_have_trouble_sitting_still%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Frequent concern # 2: &#8220;Would you be posing my special need child?

Eg: having parents playing or chatting to their children, or toddlers riding on rocking horses. Sometimes I will be simply chit-chatting with my subjects while photographing at the same time. Other times you will find me barking, meowing or even chirping like a pet just to get the attention of a younger child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, speaking with parents before the shoot will let me know their preferences and likes. With that information, a major part of the shoot can be tailored accordingly to suit everybody. This never fails to put Mom and Dad at better ease as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/ohdearstudio.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/toddler-special-need-photoshoot-studio-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"toddler boy smiling photoshoot in Oh Dear Studio\n\" class=\"wp-image-2250\"\/><figcaption>Enjoying assist-walking in the studio!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Knowing when to pause for a break and reschedule<\/strong><br>Years ago, I met a family with a little boy who was already super upset and was crying the moment the session started. I tried all the tricks up my sleeve but he didn&#8217;t want any chocolate, he didn&#8217;t want to engage in any games, he didn&#8217;t want to be hugged or even touched. Nothing worked. The parents and siblings were getting increasingly upset and frustrated as well. So, I had to manage the expectations of his parents and got them to reschedule.<br>Guess what? He was much, much more willing to participate throughout the rescheduled shoot! Not only was he happier but we managed to get a lot of really awesome portrait shots in the process. Everybody went home really happy that day. Sometimes, timing is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/ohdearstudio.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Family-photography-studio-special-need-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2252\"\/><figcaption>Beautifully crafted with natural light in Oh Dear Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photography_Venue_choices_for_a_child_with_special_needs\"><\/span>Photography Venue choices for a child with special needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The choice of location would largely depend on the child.
