Better rent a flash and some wireless triggers for a reliable light source. Ask a friend to tag along too to assist you. With some light, you won’t need to worry about slow shutter speed when shooting kids.

When it comes to that kind of kid, it’s best to play with him first. Set your camera aside and play a game where you can direct his energy to something constructive. Afterwards, give him a reward for every successful pose he accomplishes. If this fails, ask for the assistance of his parents.

I once had a portrait session with the most obnoxious kid ever. I even imagined beating the crap out of him because he threatened to hit my camera but the better of me prevailed. Do you have any tips when it comes to handling this kind of children?
