Taking Great Pictures of Your Kids

10th April, 2009 - Posted by LocalMommy -

First I have learned you need a good camera that you are comfortable with all the buttons and features. The camera should be easy to manage along with all the other things mom has to keep up with. Next the experts say take lots of picture of the same thing since digital is not expensive. Make sure you are set to the mode that will takes the best shots of fast moving kids. I read in a magazine that some cameras have a sports or child setting that works great for kids. It is also suggested to have your kids say words starting with an “M” because it seems to make a more happy expression. When our son was born my husband took pictures of his hands and feet and his hand in his dad’s hand, these picture were so profound. I try to look for those little moments that you want to capture because no one will really get it without a picture.  On movement shots like jumping I try to focus on where they are headed and then snap the picture as soon as they come into focus and keep taking them to get the best shot. This new age of digital pictures has changed the typical photo album;but, it sure has made it much easier and faster to share our memories.

Until Next Time,
