I love the way you use light & color. Glad to be reminded it’s important to ask permission.

The number one thing I’ve had to learn with my daughter (I’m sure this is true with many kids) is that once she has done something, I can’t ask her to do it again – so keep your camera close and with settings that will support a quick shot. I can’t say how many good photos I’ve missed out on, because I’m in the middle of fiddling with settings (because I left it in an odd configuration last time I used it), or trying to wake my camera up.

Also, sometimes its worth it to miss the shot so that you can create a memory with your kid, rather than it always being about you getting your shot.

All the best.

Any suggestions on how to improve are appreciated. I really like all your suggestions and photos. Thanks for sharing. I think my favorite is the kid playing in the puddle of water. Reminds me of me when I was that age… 🙂

Such cute pictures! I don’t have kids, but can use these tips with my nieces and nephews and I add Digital signatures on all my images.

I hear you Karina! We have 3 boys, individually they are little posers, but put them together and it’s like a wrestling match! I love your pics, they are so much fun. Enjoy your dslr and your boys!!

Yes, I really liked most of them, boy sitting on car, boy with a dog (I feel best of all), boy jumping on water are my favourites. Refreshing might not be right word, but I feel they r different from those portraits clicked at some park or bed room. Thus found them interesting n different.

No. It was a question, and the exclamation mark adds emphasis.

My husband just bought me my first dslr camera and the thought of learning by capturing my family was so exciting! Boy, was I wrong. I have 3 boys and the last thing that want to do is pose for any picture. I have resulted to just candid photography. Every now and then they will cooperate, but those times are few and far between. I can’t wait to apply you advice! Here are some of the few shots I was fortunate enough to capture….

What do you think? !

I love working with my kids….well, most days 🙂 I recently invited them to the studio where i’m studying and out of 40-60 images I got a few “good” ones! It was a massive learning curve, the biggest point being don’t try and work with kids at 7pm! What was I thinking?! This is my favourite image from the session; not perfect, but it captures the boys so well. Gotta love them! Thanks for the pointers, I’ll be refering back to this a lot from now on!

I found the information to be right on and rang true for me as well when i photo my kids. I Liked the timer idea! Def will help keep me accountable and not let the time fly by and my kids get angry at me for pushing the limits. I appreciate you posting this!

And BEAUTIFUL SHOTS BTW!!!!
Youre an inspiration! <3 <3 <3
