I often get asked by friends, and sometimes from ‘virtual’ friends on flickr or here on my blog, for advice on capturing amazing photos of their kids. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have learned a thing or two over the years, and I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned! The following tips are a few things that I often tell friends who are looking to improve the photos they take of their kids. I’d love to hear from you, do any of these ring true for you? Do you disagree with any of these? Do you have a tip or two to add to this list? If so, please share it with us and we’ll all improve together!
Okay, let’s get to the tips!
Catch Your Kids Being Themselves:
The best way to avoid the tired old portraits you’ve always taken is to think about your shot and what makes your kids who they are. Capture family traditions or events that are special to you and your kids and make sure that your family’s personalities are represented. There is nothing wrong with a posed, smile for the camera, type of photo, however, if you really want to start capturing amazing photos of your kids, start focusing on capturing photos that catch your kids being themselves.

We had a birthday party for Elizabeth and Anna on Saturday. We started a tradition of having their ‘big’ party together since their birthdays are only a month apart. We usually have a small ‘family’ party on the day of their actual birthdays, and then we have a big party where we invite friends on a date somewhere in-between their actual birthdays. This year, we were unexpectantly celebrating their birthdays in America. We were so very grateful that there were some new friends that could come to their party and help them feel special on their ‘birthday’!
Erica made an “Ice Cream” themed cake – the girls always LOVE the cakes that Erica makes for them! Continue reading ‘Elizabeth & Anna’s “Together” Party’
Being in the USA unexpectantly for Easter meant some Easter fun on a larger scale than that the kids are used to!
The kids are taking swimming lessons at the local YMCA… and they are loving it!
While in Asia, we don’t have regular access to swimming, so we thought, while we are in the USA for awhile, we should get our kids swimming as much as possible.
Elizabeth is excelling and just this week she swam the length of the pool without any floatation device or help from her teacher! She was so proud!
We traveled to San Antonio this past week for a much-needed break. This trip came upon us unexpectantly, some friends had a time-share that they were not going to be able to use, it was paid for, and if they didn’t use it, they would lose it. So they asked us if we were interested!
I had never been to San Antonio before, thus, I’ve never been to The Alamo. So for everyone except Erica, this was our first trip to see that very important Texas landmark!
We had some fun at the Ft. Worth Stock Show. The kids loved all the animals and good ‘ol Texas fun!
