how to be a better momtographer | part two
November 4, 2009oh hai! last week i talked about connection. i’m working my way to the really boring technical stuff, i promise, but today we’re going to talk about truth. connection is what draws your heart to a photo. truth is what keeps it there.
truth can be as simple as a tilt in the head
or a giggle
or curled piggies
be on the look out for those elements that are the honest truth.
not every photograph needs to be posed. thats not real life!
real life is forgetting to be lady like
baby bikinis
tantrums
love
there are so many amazing moments in this life just waiting to be captured. sometimes you just have to take the time to look for them. think about what makes your child “them”, seek out those elements and click that big button on your camera when you find them.
truth is the difference between a photographing a piece of a person’s day, and a piece of a person’s soul.
cheers,
katie

it is those amazing moments that are the ones to capture and by looking at them you are filled with the memories. i am a mom-tog and love capturing the little everyday moments of our children. there isn’t many photos at all that we have of them which are posed and maybe a handful that would or could even be considered anything like studio, im a natural light mom-tog ;)
