Over the past couple of years (and especially since Maggie has been born) I've gotten a great deal of questions about how to take better pictures. Mostly, I'm approached my other moms who want to take better pictures of their kids, but people from all walks of life have had questions to ask. I've realized that a few tips (like choosing the right lighting, camera, etc.) can really help the amateur photographer! So, needless to say, I was excited when my church contacted me about leading a workshop this March for people who'd like to take better pictures.
I'm a little nervous about sharing in front of a group of adults, but hopefully my teaching skills will come back to me! You can read about the seminar here. The day will be divided into two parts: The first will focus on composition and interacting with your subjects, and the second part will go into a little more detail about the functions of your camera. (You CAN shoot manually!)
Do you have a question that you think I should answer? Feel free to leave it in the comments section. If I continue to receive questions from other moms, I may start featuring the answers on my blog as well.
And because posts on this blog are MUCH more interesting with photos, here are a few of Maggie and Brandon at the park this past weekend. Happy Monday!

Hi Kristen,
First of all, these photos are adorable :). Second, I'm bummed because I would love to come to your workshop, but have two places to be that day. Please do it again sometime (like you have a lot of spare time on your hands :) ).
Blessings-
Nicolle
Nicolle! I wish you could come too. :)
sooooo cute:)
Hope the workshop goes well--what a brilliant combination of your multiple talents, English teacher! You will be inspiring for sure. Miss you and love to you all.
I love your photo's and i had some questions on how you get that faded/shadowy look at the bottom of that last picture of maggie?
Hi Amanda! Thanks for commenting! In the last photo of Maggie, I used my 50mm lens, and I opened up my aperture to 2.0. If you want that "look" you definitely want to open up your aperture as much as possible. I hope that helps!
