When it comes to getting the perfect shot, it seems that it's not the celebrity parents, but their kids who are acing the art. From Ziva Dhoni to Gracia Raina, from Ahil Sharma to Riaan Deshmukh, these kids look quite comfortable in front of the camera and are giving everybody major cuteness goals.
Don't believe us? Well, let's show you some of the cutest star kids who have become pros at shoots. And if you want your kids to have a similar photoshoot but are wondering how, worry not, we'll also share 5 easy tips to have a great photoshoot with your babies.
#1 Don't force your kids to smile and pose
Never force your babies to smile during a photoshoot and you should avoid prepping them too much before it too. You do not want a fake smile plastered across your baby's face. Instead, let them enjoy the shoot, play with the props and have fun! We bet you'll get the perfect shot if you let your baby be.
Take for instance, this picture that new mum Avantika Malik Khan recently shared and has been breaking the Internet. Het husband and actor Imran Khan is seen here with his 2.5-year-old daughter Imara Malik Khan. And the fact that the couple let their daughter sit and play the way she wanted to, has lent more innocence to the photograph.

#2 Have the babies wear light-coloured clothes
If you make your babies wear dark colours that have too many designs and textures on them, you'll take the attention away from them. Plus, remember that you are shooting for Vogue, but for your personal album, and so try to dress your baby as simplistically as possible.
If you still want to try solid dark colours, make sure there are no harsh and jarring textures or prints on it. The key to a good baby shoot is to keep the baby simple.
Take for instance a shoot that cricketer Suresh Raina recently did with his 7-month-old daughter, Gracia Raina. The cute and cherubic baby is seen in simple and soothing colours, instead of bright pinks or lilacs. This has helped to keep all the attention on the little one and her cute expressions.

#3 Keep a tab on the weather conditions when on location
You don't want your baby to suffer from dehydration or too much heat, do you? So the best thing to do when you are on location is to keep water and snacks handy. When your baby is satisfied and full, there is less likely chance that he/she will throw any fit during the shoot.
If there is anything specific that your baby likes to eat, keep that handy too.
Take for instance this cute photoshoot of MS Dhoni's daughter Ziva Dhoni. She looks comfortable and confident on a rather dangerous ride. But for that to happen, you need to tell your child about the prop and let them know that you are with them throughout.

#4 Make that gorgeous eye colour pop!
If you want to make your baby's eye colour stand out (which by the way looks super cute in pictures), then contrast their clothes accordingly. Even if it is dark brown, doesn't mean you can't let the brightness in his/her eyes shine through.
To make brown eyes pop, all you need is to contrast it with a shade of blue! Yes, it's that simple.
Take for instance this picture shared by new mum Arpita Khan. Seen here is the entire family including the doting parents and the cute 9-month-old Ahil Sharma. His eyes look bright and shiny, thanks to his mums contrasting blue.

#5 Let your kids have fun
Lets not forget, after all the shoot is meant for the kids to look happy and that can happen when they have fun. So let them have fun, whether it is a studio shoot or on location. Kids feel most comfortable when their parents are around, so show your presence and give them something they love to play with.
Take for instance this cute shot of new baby Rahyl with dad Riteish Deshmukh. They look comfortable and relaxed in this shoot, and while he is still quite young, Rahyl has his daddy dearest as his prop and there's no better prop than that, right!
