This was taken off my old blog. Hope you enjoy!
Almost everyone wants better photos of their families. So here are a few tips on how to get those shots that only professionals get (not really, anyone can get them!).
1. When you want someone on the other side of the camera to smile, smile!!!!!! Right now your thinking I am crazy right? Well, I might be a little but it takes a lot of practice to get to serious crazy. What I mean is the photographer (you) need to smile at your subject if you want them to smile.
2. The best thing you can do when trying to get you kids to pose for you is to not pose them. Let them do what they usually do. And don’t get impatient and yell or threaten them. Think about it. Would you be happy if your mom said, "Stop crying or I’m gonna give you something to cry about!" With kids you have to be really patient. I know. It’s hard not to yell at your kids when it’s so much fun. (kidding again 
)
)3. This is a great way to get kids' attention. Do you have a cell phone? When you want a kid to look at the camera, make your cell phone ring! They always look at it. Make sure it is by the camera when it rings.
4. With digital you can take multiple shots without charging up a huge bill for film and printing. So shoot away. Take a lot of shots. This way when you get a blink or bad expression, you will at least get a lot of them. Ha Ha. What I meant to say was that you have a better chance of getting a good shot when you take a whole bunch of shots. You might hit the lottery and get an awsome one.
Now that I have given you some advice, here are a few shots of my fam.
This is the most important thing to remember when shooting family and kids. Have fun. Because if you are not having fun, no one is!
