Candid Moments....

About a month ago I decided to subscribe to a mail order scrapbooking thing. Every month they send you ideas for scrapbooking, photography, journaling, invitations, etc. I have loved it. I have gotten some really great ideas for my scrapbooks and have really been thinking about the pictures I take. One of the cards explains ways to discover candid moments with your camera. It gave some ideas for taking pictures of your kids while they don't know you are taking them. The card says that when your kid is hard at work they won't notice you taking their picture, this way you can capture those faces they make when they are concentrating. The next section on the card says to capture playtime, secret moments and emotional moments, these all create some of the most personal pictures.










Anyway, I thought every so often I would share some ideas I get and hopefully someone else will gain something from them!
