Why do YOU take pictures?
![Page 3: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Before fancy gear, before the exposure triangle,
before homemade studios and
photography props … there is LIGHT.
And when youunderstand and love light then your photography
will improve and grow like never before.

Why is LIGHT so important??\\\ Shutter Speed
Your camera NEEDS light to do a good job The amount of light your camera can see determines the shutter speed of your picture. VERY important for catching those fleeting first smiles. Not to mention for making nice sharp, clear pictures!
![Page 5: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Same ISO, same aperture but notice the difference in shutter speed!Picture on the left is taken with the curtains closed at a shutter speed of 1/15.Picture on the right is taken with NO other change than opening the curtains and you get a shutter speed of 1/250!
![Page 6: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is LIGHT so important??
Exposure!
Putting your subjects in poor light can make for underexposed images (your pictures are dark) or overexposed images (the brights and whites are blown out and too bright). Good light helps achieve better exposure (esp. if you’re shooting in Auto) and shows off natural skin tones and shades of color.
![Page 7: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why is LIGHT so important??
To make your pictures look good!Good light is beautiful – it gives your hair highlights, makes your eyes light up and makes the trees and grass come alive with warm color.

What is good light?• Facing the light source parallel, or to the side (depends on the
look you want) or backlight with a reflector.• A lot of light around you
![Page 10: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Catchlights• Catchlights are a good starting indicator if you have
good light or not.• If your subject is facing the light, OR facing away from
the main light source with a surface reflecting light into their face, then you will have catchlights.
![Page 11: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Indoor DIFFUSED Light
• Diffused light is what you are looking for! Diffused light is found when you have light present but not direct and blaring. DIFFUSED light is bright, but non shining directly into your home.
![Page 12: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Tip: Turn off all your overhead lights. They just compete with your natural light and can add unpleasant shadows and highlights.
![Page 13: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Tip: Be aware of where the light falls in your home during the day. What room has the best light? What time of day do you get great light in your living room or kitchen (or other spaces you use the most). Go the whole day with the lights OFF and the curtains OPEN to really notice the light!
![Page 14: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Side/angled to the light Parallel to the light
![Page 15: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Notice the different shadows and good and not-so-good light that are created by standing by a large window on an overcast day:
![Page 16: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What a difference light makes!
![Page 17: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
To flash or not to flash?• Get to know your
camera. If your camera always gives blurry pics and you are giving it all the light you can, then by all means use the flash. You will regret years worth of blurry pictures more than you regret using the flash.
![Page 18: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• IF your camera is capable of being used in Manual then learn how to use it! This will help you get around the problem of always relying on the flash in low-light situations. That way when you use flash it will be YOUR choice, not the cameras.
![Page 19: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outdoor Light
• Diffused light outdoors is also called “open shade”
• This could mean you are standing in the shade of a tree or building WITHOUT a barrier/roof/trees overhead.
• Diffused light is easy to find at sunset because the low light creates long shadows for standing in.
![Page 20: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Overcast Days
• Overcast days provide even light everywhere. You won’t have to worry about harsh shadows. The plus side is you can take pictures anywhere, anytime. The downside is that you miss out on the beauty and interest that happens when you incorporate light into your pictures.
![Page 22: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Use overcast days for those tricky kids photo-ops: Playing at the park at 1 p.m. is MUCH easier in overcast light! Blow bubbles, ride bikes, go on a hike take advantage of the even light and do something picture worthy!
![Page 23: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lighting situations to avoid!
• Dappled Light
![Page 24: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Direct Sunlight

Composition• Composition: The organization of all your
elements in your photograph
![Page 26: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
On their level
Make it a habit of always shooting on your child’s level! If they’re on the floor, get on the floor so your camera is on level with their face. If they’re on the stomach on the ground, then you do it too!
![Page 27: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Perspective
Notice what a difference a better perspective makes in these two pictures.
![Page 28: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Perspective adds interest• When you are
composing the shot YOU determine what perspective you will capture. Try shooting from above or standing on something to get high up.
![Page 29: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How about laying on the ground? Ask yourself: Can I tell this story differently by changing my perspective. Get creative!
![Page 30: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Rule of Thirds
• The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of this technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would. (Wikipedia)
![Page 31: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fill the frame
• Close in on the action! Determine what you want to capture and fill the frame with that (not the rest of the empty pool or the other strangers in bumper cars!)
![Page 32: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Space
• Decide: Do you want to fill your frame, or does the background enhance the picture and help tell a story?
![Page 33: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Add interest to your pictures by adding another element like leading lines: Lines that draw the viewer to your focal point and add interest and movement.
![Page 34: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Another technique for added interest is creating a frame-within-a-frame:
![Page 35: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Watch your behind
• What’s in the background? This is important for indoor and outdoor photography. Can something be moved? Cleaned up? Do you need to change your position?
• Get rid of distractions!
![Page 36: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Watch out for bad compositionChopped body parts and poles or branches growing out from their head … not the best composition Become aware of how you’re filling the frame and what’s in the background when you are composing your shot.
![Page 37: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Storytelling
What is it? Literally telling a story through pictures. A photograph has the ability to convey emotion, mood, narrative, ideas and messages – all of which are important elements of story telling. This method can be used for just one picture, or a series.
![Page 38: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• When to use it? To capture memories that happen over time that are connected, like my daughters first year of school:
![Page 39: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Long-term storytelling (like the year-long Kindergarten story) requires thinking ahead and remembering.Short-term storytelling could be a family vacation, or an afternoon with your children.
![Page 40: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The important thing is you don’t just get poses, you don’t just get a slew of candids … you tell a story so that if there were no words, you would still have a beginning, middle and end.
![Page 41: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Storytelling doesn’t have to be of major life events. It is powerful to tell the small, everyday stories that happen in your home. Stories that reveal personality and interests or stories that illustrate a day in your life.
![Page 44: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Tips for making it great: Plan ahead (for long-term). Be prepared with your camera!Capture different anglesGet pictures of the detailsWrite the story that goes with it!
![Page 45: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Candid Photography
• What is it? Taking pictures without your subject noticing. In candid photography no direction is given to the person you are taking pictures of.
![Page 46: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• When to use it? Children playing together, little ones getting into trouble, parties, holidays – anytime when it is important to catch the action.
![Page 47: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Tips for making it great: Take your camera with you! Have it out and handy at home. You never know when you’ll have a “candid” moment
• Don’t use flash. It kills the moment when they realize you are intruding
![Page 48: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Create a candid: The easiest way to get a faux candid is to ask the people you are photographing to interact (I usually tell my husband to do something funny to get the kids to laugh). Why? Because sometimes choosing to create a candid moment creates a better picture than the picture you were trying for!
![Page 49: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
![Page 50: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Posing• You are choosing the location and the light and giving
direction on how they should stand.
![Page 51: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
When to use it? Use sparingly with your kids unless they are really good sports! You don’t want them to get sick of your camera Save posed pictures for special occasions (Easter or Christmas outfits, a snapshot when Grandma visits, first day of school pictures, a new haircut)
![Page 52: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Tips for making it great: Don’t expect 3-and-unders to pose for you. Position them in great light and make them laugh and smile and shoot quickly
![Page 53: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• I Recommend posing older children as little as possible – they usually overdo it so it looks cheesy and stiff because they are trying hard to do what you are telling them.
![Page 54: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• The basics: Always give their hands something to do.
![Page 55: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• Always have their “pairs” (two ears, two hands, two arms etc) separated with one slightly in front of the other (usually having them put one foot forward solves this problem)
![Page 56: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Posing a parent and child• I have one RULE that I stick to when posing a parent
with a child: Have the parent be on the SAME level as the child. This could mean crouching, sitting, laying down or holding the child so their face is on level with your own.
![Page 57: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
![Page 58: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
A simple in-home backdrop
One LARGE blanket, two chairs and two clamps.
![Page 59: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
• Textured blankets• White (color casts and
timelessness)• Heavy (don’t have to
worry about wrinkles)• Easy to clean (baby pee
and poop) watch for “Dry clean only”
• Bean bags and boppy’s • Trash bags• Heavy duty clips• Keep it simple
![Page 60: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Watch for wrinkles, color casts, shadows and sitting right up against the backdrop.
![Page 61: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The First Year• The first year is FILLED with photo opportunities. Not
only the milestones like crawling, teeth and solid food, but the amazing growth and change in your baby. Watch as they change in pictures with a photoshoot just for them every three months.
![Page 62: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Hospital• Utilize the window light! Pictures to get at the
hospital: Family picture, mom, dad, baby in the going home outfit
![Page 63: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Newborn: First pictures at home
Setup: The blanket/boppy combo described earlier or a simple white textured blanket.
Lighting: Parallel to a large window
![Page 64: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Tips: When your baby falls deep asleep find whatever room has the best light and get started. Make sure your house is really warm. A naked newborn is not happy when they are cold.If there are older siblings hanging around have dad take them out so you can take your time and not feel stressed.

• Setup: A good age to start outdoor pictures because they are more mobile and don’t want to stay on a backdrop.
• Lighting: Outdoors at sunset

One Year• Set up: Outdoors if
possible. Balloons, birthday cake, “big girl” outfit, a chair or stool or other prop they can sit on.
• Lighting: Sunset (if the baby is a walker then find a location with great light at sunset since you’ll be chasing the baby around for pictures)

Basic rules of design
Once you’ve chosen the photos to display choose how you will group them. To make it easy, think in terms of one of these classic wall-art design shapes:
• Block : The outer perimeter of your pictures form a square, rectangle or diamond shape.
• Mosaic: Pictures large and small cluster around three images at the center
• Gallery: Frames are set in a row and aligned at the top, bottom, or center.

•Use your furniture as a guide for picture hanging height and positioning.• In general, the art should be about 75% the width of the furniture it hangs above.•Tight spacing = 1-2”•Normal spacing = 4-6”•Hang your art at eye-level so that when someone walks into the room they don’t have to look up to see your pictures. If you are creating a group, make your center row of images at eye-level. (picture from Familycircle.com)

Frame ItBenefits: A one-time purchase. The glass protects your pictures.
You can create a variety of looks depending on the style of frame you choose.
Drawbacks: Can be expensive initially. Lots of holes in the walls. (Image from Pottery Barn)

Matted Pictures
Benefits: Great for a diy project (or very affordable from a professional). You’re not constrained by frame sizes .. you can create images in whatever size you want. Very inexpensive supplies.Drawbacks: When you want to switch out the pictures you have to do the project again – you’re not just switching pictures in a frame. The pictures aren’t protected by glass.

Your walls are bigger than you realize. Fill the space with large pictures for an eye-catching centerpiece in your home.

Small is BIG in a group
Pictures from Martha Stewart
Creating your own gallery or mosaic wall is a great way to use up frames you have lying all over the house (spray paint them the same color for a cohesive look).
![Page 84: Momtography101](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b982544a7959417a8b4586/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Large groupings of small prints is also a great way to show off your family photos without feeling self-conscious about the quality of the pictures in enlargements. So even if you’re just starting your photo journey get those pictures on the wall!
