A lot of people ask how I get those shots where the kid looks right up at me and the camera.  Usually all it takes is getting really close over them while they are sitting down, or standing on something over them and then calling their name, or quacking like a duck, mooing like a cow, shining a light, etc.  But sometimes you need something more.  A trick up your sleeve…think of what almost every toddler and preschooler would look up for and follow with their eyes and head…

Of course, the trick is to snap the photo while they are looking at it BEFORE they try to reach for it 😉
