As mentioned in this blog post, each month I want to conduct interviews with moms (and dads) who document their everyday lives with photographs. The main goal of each interview is to learn more about who, why and how we photograph our families. I loved the idea of using photographs to illustrate the answers.
For the first interview, I put myself to the challenge.

[divider] 10 | what tip, trick or info helped your family photographs the most:
Besides setting your custom white balance (which can even be done with point and shoot cameras!), I would say, facing subjects towards the light to get catchlights in the eyes. Of course I understood windows = light, but I never maximized the light in my kids’ eyes. As mentioned above, I am still learning about how to use interior light…but I have definitely improved!
