About to photograph first model...

Later today I'm meeting with my first model (age 6 months) and mum for my first shoot and later with my second model (9 years) for my second shoot. I've decided to go at the series from a few different angles and then select the one which turns out the best with all the different children. Firstly, I'll be asking the child to show me three things which are most important to them at that particular moment in their childhood - I've heard that a few photography students have done this in the past as a reflection on what is important to a particular age group, but I want to show how these important things that shape the child's identity change over time. Secondly, I'll be shooting them with a teddy bear I'll be taking along, and seeing how the ages from 6 months to 13 years respond to the teddy - I expect that at around 3 years will be the best age to play with the teddy, but I'm intrigued to find out and record the different interactions with the toy at different ages. This will be reflecting on the somewhat sombre idea that children grow out of things that are iconic of childhood as they make their way to teen and adulthood. Lastly, I'll be handing the child a wrapped chocolate bar and recording how they react to a gift and the chocolate inside - this was an idea I discussed with Matt as a way to show altering attitudes to this as the child matures.
