TAKING PHOTOS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

At our MOMS' meeting today we had a professional photographer, Todd Pierson, show us how to take photos like a professional! It was so awesome to learn some of the techniques that are used by professionals. As for me lighting and spontaneity was what I was missing!

Todd told us that the five key elements to great photos are:

  1. Composition
  2. Lighting
  3. Background
  4. Expression
  5. Color

It was a very informative meeting and I trust that everyone left with a least one tip to help them take better photos! Remember kids are best in their natural environment and the pics do not necessarily have to be centered, posed or perfect! Be adventurous and have FUN!!
