When I’m working with families, especially kids, I’m working at ways to set up a scene that shows their personality or role in the family. Whether it’s the brave big brother who can stand on his own 🙂

Oh, I love these tips MeRa. Your family images are fantastic. I think you did indeed bring out and capture their individual personalities! Perfect examples. I appreciate them.
As always, I LOVE your photo tips! My favorite is how to get the “refuse to say cheese moment”…..Thank You!
Wonderful!!! Thank you so much, I’ll be practicing all of these tips this weekend on my own kids.
wow… great article!!
I wish I read this before heading to see family last weekend!!!!
This is awesome advice.
I vote for no Blog tomorrow!! Have a wonderful weekend, get some rest, and give those adorable little ones a hug for me!! Love Ya!!
Thank you for giving me permission to take and keep blurry photos. I always just delete them and think, “Man, that would have been great if it were in focus.” This past weekend I took a photo that turned out blurry and after reading that it’s okay to have blurry photos, I realized how much I loved it. I think that should be your next photo contest…something with blurry photos. It truly has been the most challenging concept I’ve read on your blog.
I know you don’t need me to tell you so, but gosh you are talented! I’m trying to get more into taking pictures, as i’m falling more and more in love with life around me. I hope to be able to take photography classes someday and I wanna be like you! I have a Nikon L100, which doesn’t Always capture the magic that I want it to because it’s not as advanced. Well anyway, I hope to learn more from you. I’m enjoying just being able to watch what you do, so thanks for sharing!
Thanks for ALL your feedback! It’s so helpful to hear how these Photo Tips help! I know our lives are all busy, and you taking time to post a few words in the comments means the world.
A Photo Contest around the theme of Blur is a FANTASTIC idea! Lemme work on that!
And Lindsay, you are so great! I’m taking the day off, and your blog post on the SOAR! blog hits home with perfection haunting me! Errr! Why do we put the pressure on ourselves to be perfect?! So frustrating. I feel horrible about how little I’ve posted this week, but my spirit is thanking me for it, and my kids are loving it. “Go away perfection! You’ve never given me anything but dissapointment!”
[…] Me Ra Koh gives a great tip about asking a child if you can take pictures of anything besides their face (eg their pretty shoes). She says they will never know if you zoomed in or out for the photo below, and they will be more relaxed. […]
