Moms everywhere can definitely relate to Isabelle Daza’s OOTD post. The actress, IT girl and mom of three looked stunning in a white column dress. However, the next few snaps in her carousel show that her son, Baltie, is less than amused. Baltie can be seen hugging his mom and leading her away in a couple of videos. “Behind every OOTD… is my child screaming for attention,” Isabelle wrote in the caption.

How can mamas like Isabelle take good OOTD shots?
Getting good OOTD shots or even good family photos is a challenge most moms encounter at any event or milestone. And as any mama can attest, Baltie is not the only child to pressure mama to wrap up the photoshoot and just go.
If you would like to get your child to cooperate to a few snaps, here are a few tips:
1. Talk with your child in their language
In a previous Smart Parenting article, Pediatric psychologist Adelle Cadieux, Psy.D. said that the best way to let your child know what you expect from him in a certain situation is to communicate with him. Avoid giving lengthy explanations and opt to stick to basic words. You can also remind them to behave every once in a while.
2. Ensure that their needs are fulfilled
In another story, we also listed tips on how parents can take better photos with their kids. And one of the recommendations is to take photos after your child’s needs are met–such as when they’re not hungry or sleepy. You may also use their favorite toy or snacks to keep them in a good mood.
