Smiling is Not a Necessity. Photography Tips for Parents.

Look for moments that make you smile.

 

I was recently approached by Washington Family magazine to offer a few quick tips for parents who want to photograph their kids and I was glad to give my two cents.

Quick Tip #1

"My photo philosophy for taking great portraits is to be discreet and most importantly, patient!  Engage the child in an activity that will bring out their little personalities (reading a favorite book, coloring/painting, singing songs, sitting up, belly time, dancing, tickling, furniture surfing, taking a bath, picking flowers, etc..). Look for the moments that make you smile. These are amazing times of growth and change in your child's life.  It's so fun as a parent to witness the moments happen, it's even more precious to capture the moments for a lifetime." --Mary Gardella of Love Life Images

For more quick tips you can visit Washington Family Magazine.

Stay tuned for more tips soon.

 

Have fun!
