I'm reading a great book right now called Camera Ready, How to Shoot Your Kids by Arthur Elgort, one of the world's top fashion photographers. His book is not only filled with beautiful pictures and great photography tips, but he shares his philosophy on capturing his own children in photos.
Haven't we all said, "Gosh, I wish I had the camera with me!" I know I have said this many times. Arthur's book emphasizes making the camera a part of everyday life. Generally we as parents take lots of pictures of our kids, but those are generally planned. How many moments do we miss because we are running to get the camera? By having a camera on hand, you can capture the most amazing shots of your children doing the most ordinary things. I'm trying to do this over the summer with my own children and was able to practice last night! We went to a Dodger game and I grabbed my camera last minute. I'm so glad I did!
