What a wonderful list! I am always lamenting my lack of photography skills, but this gives me some new ideas. Now I just have to figure out how to connect the camera to my body so I have it with me whenever I need it!

One good tip that I have heard to keep a small child standing still if you want to pose them is to have them stand in a small bucket of water. It keeps them still and happy and you can just crap the bucket out of the photo. Cute idea.

Thanks for the great tips. I love taking photos but am still an ameteur, so I can use all the help I can get.

Great tips. Especially #2, people try so hard to get a smile, (I’m probably guilty of this too) but the candid shots are sometimes the best. Thanks for stopping by mine. Happy TT!
