Take better pictures of your kids

I spend a lot of time on the computer.  A. LOT.  Some people might even say too much.  All my time on the computer, in particular the internet, really pays off, though.  I find great tutorials on everything related to photography and the digital darkroom (aka Photoshop and Lightroom), as well as inspirational blogs that make me realize how wonderful and important photography really is.

One of the sites I love to visit is Mom*tog.  She posts so many tips on how to take pictures of your own kids.  Photographing your kids can be very different than photographing someone else’s kids.  You wouldn’t think so, but it is.  I’ve learned a lot about trying to get good shots of my two crazy munchkins from this site.  She posts her camera settings, gives great advice on equipment and explains things (like white balance, how to buy a camera, etc.) in a way that everyone can understand.

So head on over there!  And then bust out your camera and capture some of your own everyday memories.  I’d love to see some, so leave a link to your photos in the comments!
