How to capture Emotive Images of your children at home

Your children are the greatest art you will ever create. While it’s wonderful to obtain professional images of your family once or twice a year, you are with your children daily. This guide will provide tangible steps to assist you in obtaining emotive, heartfelt images of your children throughout your daily lives.

Anticipating the moment: You know your children best so that makes you an expert in anticipating the moment: noticing which interactions or activities will bring joyful smiles to their faces. Then position yourself to capture the moment. This ensures you can capture all the joy, while being present in play with your children.

Always consider the camera angle: An easy rull of thumb is to place the camera at your child’s eye level or even below the child’s eye level and point up. This allows for images that portray the child’s point of view. This viewpoint also allows for you to showcase how your children experience so much wonder and amazement while enjoying life’s little moments.

Experiment with changing the focal point: Even a smart phone can adjust the focal point, or the point at which the camera is focusing. This allows for the other areas to be blurred which will draw your eyes to notices what is important to you. If your child is having a large reaction or smile at a toy you could choose to focus on the toy, with their big smile blurred in the background. Or vice versa!

You do not need a professional camera to take stunning images of your children!
