Kids looking at the camera it's a little different than grown ups looking at the camera for some reason, maybe that's just me but I want one of all of them looking and then I like to get some interaction shots like we were doing with them so getting them to touch, and talk and be silly is super fun because you're capturing that little dynamic that's going on between the siblings.
