You are soooooo lucky to have willing subjects! My kids generally throw a fit the moment I whip out the camera…

Your tutorials are great! And I’m glad I found this one. I never knew ANYthing about catchlights, but I can see that it makes a big difference between an OK picture and a really great one. Thanks so much – I will definitely have to try this.

Your getting good Lara! Another friend of mine also does photography. Her name is Annie Ballard and her blog is "chick-that-clicks.blogspot.com" Check it out.

Your kids are growing up and changing so much. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Love,
Esther

Chloe is so photogenic. What a beauty!

I enjoyed learning about catchlights. I should pull out my manual and see if my point and shoot has many options. I do have a film camera that's pretty nice, but, well, it's film. :)

Your pictures are beautiful, Lara! Those catchlights are much trickier with a not so great camera, though.

The glasses thing is sooo tricky! We've gotten to the point, that Hank just has to take them off in pictures. Which is too bad, because I think he looks great with his glasses.
