Learn how to take better pictures of your babies!

In the spirit of my upcoming maternity break (if she ever decides to come out - already 5 days late), I decided to post some tips on how to photograph your own kids.

1.  The easiest way to get good pictures is to be camera ready!  Have your camera with you, charged and ready to go.  It is so easy to capture (or miss) a great moment just by being in the moment!

2.  Know how to use your camera.  Whether you use a point and shoot or a digital slr, just knowing how to work it can allow you to get great images!

3.  Capture your kids just being themselves, instead of trying to get everyone to smile and stay clean (you can always hire a professional for that!)

Just a few tips for today, but check back for more!  Feel free to email me if you have any questions about getting better photos of your kids!
