I mean, really?
Jumping on the bed?
What. Was. I. Thinking?
Must have been a momentary lapse of reason brought on by increased and prolonged exposure to progesterone.
Crazy I tell you.

1. Thank you for the AMAZING tips on photography... you explain it perfectly for half brain-dead moms like me who just need things kept simply!!! :-D
ReplyDelete2. You capture life so perfectly.
3. Your kids are beautiful!!!
Any tips on when you tell your child "Smile" to get a real genuine non-five year old cheesy fake smile??? That is the really deep and mysterious question of photography... isn't it???
Marci--THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness we could have a whole post (or 2 or 3) on how to get great smiles and expressions with kiddos and adults alike. I guess the biggest advice is to NOT say "say cheese" or "smile." Tell a story, have them tell a story. Be silly. tickle games and a quick shutter finger. Just carry on a fun dialogue and BE PATIENT for the shot. Worst case scenario... many of my favorite shots are NOT the smiley ones. I adore the weird ones or crying images or the ones where they're just being down right defiant. Now that I have a child that's an adult (*quinge*) those are my favorite images of all!
Maybe someone would like this to be a topic for another photography 101 post?

ReplyDeleteThe kids are cute. Looks like they had fun jumping on the bed!
ReplyDeleteWell - as always your shutter skills are most excellent! and the models - wow...
ReplyDeleteBut as for bed jumping - we acutally have a couple pieces of furniture in the basement specifically (shudder) for jumping on!
And like our oldest always says - "It's all good"!
hugs - aus and co.
They are adorable children and photos!
ReplyDeleteIt's nearly impossible to make my bed without my kids getting under the sheets. They are monkeys as well.

ReplyDeleteYou mean to say, "Three Gorgeous, Adorable, Completely Happy Monkeys Jumping on the Bed," right?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and gorgeous children. Mimi looks so pretty in light blue - I think that is one of the best colors on our dark-eyed, black-haired children. Thank you for sure Nancy, for teaching us novices how to take better photos of our children.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I have SO much trouble with indoor lighting... I hope to master it one day like you did! Great pictures!
