Children are human beings with their own needs and expectations. When working with children, I always try to listen to them, and keep in mind my repertoire as an adult human being, reasonably healed from my traumas.
There are children who want to wear makeup in photography sessions, for example. What is the purpose of makeup for us adults? Give the skin a more homogeneous and healthy appearance and highlight facial features according to our intentions. The child already has homogeneous and healthy skin. So, there is no point in full makeup for them in most cases.
What if a child wants to wear makeup? In photo shoots, I evaluate on a case-by-case basis, depending on the type of shoot, location, etc. For a daughter, I would say that she is beautiful in that way and makeup is used to disguise imperfections in adults' skin and highlight features of their faces. And I would allow her to use lipstick if she wanted. And nail polish. To a boy, I would say the same, and if he was criticised, I would talk and support him so he could learn to deal with criticism without fear of being authentic.
If you are a parent and transfer your insecurities to your children, giving them a photo shoot with Nycka Nunes, with the freedom to be who they really are, can be a gift that shows you care, and an opportunity to start a dialogue about your fears and limitations, strengthening bonds. If you already have a sincere dialogue with your children, a professional photoshoot with Nycka Nunes is a way to show your love.
