Give the child a job and the picture loosens up. Kids Photo Poses here ask them to run, jump, blow a dandelion, whisper, read, or peek. Asking a five-year-old to stand still and smile is how the stiff picture happens.
One child is enough for The Chin-in-Hands, The Doorstep Sit, The Dandelion Wish and The Reading Nook. Two or three can use The Run to Me, The Big Jump or The Secret Whisper. Outdoor poses want open shade so they are not squinting. Indoor poses want a window, not a ceiling light.
Get the camera down to their eye line. Shooting from adult height makes heads look large and the pose look like you are watching them from the doorway. Start the action, then count down. The useful frame is usually mid-jump or mid-run, not the landing.

Questions about kids photo poses
What are good kids photo poses for one child?
The Chin-in-Hands, The Doorstep Sit, The Dandelion Wish, The Reading Nook and The Peekaboo are all one-child poses. Pick a seated or close pose if they are shy, and a jump or a spin if they are already moving.
How do I pose two kids together?
Put them in on a secret. The Secret Whisper gives both a reason to lean in and look at each other instead of the lens. If they are different heights, sit the taller one so the faces land closer together.
What kids photo poses work indoors?
The Reading Nook and The Peekaboo are indoor poses. The Chin-in-Hands and The Secret Whisper work indoors or out. Face a window, and skip the overhead light so eyes are not in shadow.
Why do kids photo poses look stiff?
The pose asked them to stop. Swap it for a job with motion or a prop: run to the camera, blow a dandelion, or cover their eyes and peek. Shoot while the job is happening, not after they have finished and looked up for approval.
