Taking better photos of your family

Isn't this little guy a cutie? These were taken at about 7:45 the other night. I love the light later in the evening before sunset. It's softer, warmer and just downright buttery sometimes! If you are wanting to take better photos of your kiddos or your family here are a few tips....

1. Turn that FLASH off! If you don't know how, check your manual.
2. Shoot early in the day or in the evening. Mid day sun is too harsh and won't do your images any favors!
3. Get out of the direct sun. Direct sun is harsh and will create raccoon eyes. Find a shaded area and face your subject so reflected light is falling on their face. (in two of these, the first and the last one, the church across the street had the sun shining directly on it and it was reflecting back across the street at Connor's face)

Try these tips and see how you do! If you find them helpful, share this post with a friend and have them go like my facebook page (button at top of blog). That's the place to hear what's going on with Denise Williams Photography!
