In the past year I have photographed two two-year-olds for portraits. One was very shy and reserved and she didn't move around much. Not much trouble there getting good shots.
The other two-year-old was a very active little boy. I shot well over a hundred photographs of him in the course of twenty or thirty minutes and got several that were useable from which to choose.
With a digital camera I can do a lot of "catch and release" photography and just print the ones I think will be useful, so it's easier to shoot a ton of reference photos and not worry about the cost.
I have a shoot coming up soon with two preschoolers. Mike, I think I will use your idea of having them focus on some activity or object in a small area, to keep them within range of my camera. Thanks!
