Often when we take photos of our children, we think we need to be have them pose and say “cheese”. This does not always work out well, as the pictures don’t always look natural. It’s best to take photos of them doing things when they aren’t aware of the camera. If you can set them […]
What is most important when we take photos of our families? Do we need to make sure that everything is perfect, and everyone is posed just so? Or do we need to make sure that it is fun for everyone involved. I have memories of being told that we had to stand just so … […]
