Karin, I tried bringing along a kazoo for the photoshoot on the beach this past August. Unfortunately I forgot to refine my kazoo-playing skills before I got there, so when I needed it all I got was a faint "wheeep" which didn't interest the child at all. The fact that it was 100 degrees in the shade might have had something to do with it. When I came back on a cooler day I brought along a wooden rocking horse that I'd made for my own grandkids. That way I was able to immobilize her and got some great photos of her looking at me. It also works to have the parent or grandparent hold the child on her lap, or to use a high chair. Kids are used to sitting still there. Then all you have to do (!) is worry about the expression.
