Capturing Family Life in Photographs- Idea #2 |

Part of a series of ideas to help any parent take endearing and meaningful pictures of their kids.
Idea #2- It’s in the Details
The big picture of raising children can feel overwhelming at times. Breaking down the day-to-day into smaller parts can
help give a little perspective and make things feel less daunting. This idea can also be true in shooting photos of our kids. We often shoot the big picture and often miss the details. A nice head and shoulders portrait of our children is what normally comes to mind when we think about taking a picture of our children. But, what about the little details that make them unique? What about the freckle on their cheek, the curl of their hair, or the way they rub their feet together when they watch TV. Every child is different and each has details about them that no other child shares.
Try to think about the unique (and even sometimes quirky) qualities of your child that you might like to capture in a photo. It’s not always easy but the results can be so rewarding. Like most things, your child will probably grow out of most of these little things and if you have them in a photograph, you will never forget these endearing details of life with your child.
