SIngle Mom & Son Photo Session

[Lonewolfjustin]

Hey everyone, I need some advice here. I going to be doing a photo session with a Single Mom and her son of five. We are going to a park in the area because she would like a nature background. I've been searching through Pinterest, Flickr, and Google for posing techniques but haven't had much luck. Any body have any ideas on good poses or can point me to a good place to search for them? I just need a little direction Thanks in advance!

I really prefer a more natural look to my photos with parents and children so I like to have them engage in some type activity to get them relaxed. Recently, I did a shoot in a wilderness park with a mom and a 2 year old. We were near a small pond with some fish and she was pointing out the fish to him and I was able to get some good shots. Then, just out of the blue, the little boy put his arms around his mom's neck and gave her this sweet hug and I was able to capture that. Hope this helps.
