Interacting with kids is tough, especially as an adult. Learn how silly games and a thigh workout will help get you the best kids pictures ever. Heather was a pre-k teacher before her 17 years in business as a children?s photographer and she will tell you all about the stupid games and fart contests to play for real laughs and authentic expressions plus how reverse phycology will win you points too. Watch Heather work with one or more kids she has never met and take them from shy to shining. You’ll have an opportunity to test SIGMA loaner gear and watch Heather as she poses the kids for the best portraits. Heather recommends that you request a SIGMA loaner portrait lens like the 85mm 1.4.
SIGMA Tech Rep Marc Farb and Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson will also be available to answer questions throughout the afternoon!
