Recently Emily myself and our three children relocated / went on holiday for four weeks to Spain. We caught a ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao on the last day of term, drove south to Toledo for two nights, then to Nerja for 5 nights, before staying in Sayalonga for 3 weeks before returning home with a night in Madrid on the way back to Bilbao.

Can I add another suggestion for improving family photos? Head to your library. I have one of the tiniest libraries and they had a book for the everyday person. It had easy to implement changes that made my pictures SO much better instantly! Looking at Amazon the book Capture the Moment seems similar to what we have at our library and I think the author is a blogger too. Overall, patience is the most important skill.

Family Xmas Photography :: Holiday Portraits in MA The holiday season is all about family, love, and joy. So family portrait photography is such a great way to celebrate the holiday season. I love getting to open my studio up to families from all around Massachusetts and southern NH for family Xmas photography sessions. I...

Food is such a central part of holiday celebrations, so take the time to photograph all those traditional dishes and tantalizing treats you look forward to all year. Pictures of a colorful table setting, steaming mugs of cocoa, or decadent desserts go a long way to evoke the senses. Some people may even want to be photographed with their favorite dish. And of course, raise a glass (and a camera!) when family members gather around the table and start making toasts before the holiday feast.

There is nothing quite like a holiday road trip! Instead of keeping the lens cap on until you reach your destination, take your camera out during the journey so you can snap pictures of the changing scenery. Stopping for treats along the way? Snap a quick pic. From backseat selfies to roadside attractions, give yourself time to soak up the excitement of going places. Getting outside your everyday routine can also invite moments of spontaneity and creativity. Have fun capturing your holiday story one moment at a time!

So anyway at Christmas, we were taking photos and her mom was like "OP, we want the photos to be family only.." Lia started to protest, like "we're married, mom" but I didn't want an argument so I said "it's ok, I'll take the pictures."

I was kind of annoyed and decided to not take the best ones... Just on purpose, focused the camera on the furniture rather than people, snapped pictures zoomed in awkwardly close, used unflattering flash, didn't hold my hands steady so they were blurry, took pictures on purpose when someone was looking away or coughing or something.

After everything, Lia was angry on my behalf, said her mom had no right to treat me like that and I didn't have to say "it's ok" when it was totally rude. And I just started laughing and told her what I'd done. We snuck down to the dining room later that night and she lost it laughing at the pictures I'd taken. She even deleted some of the more decent ones.

We've all experienced a year we'll never forget, and we all deserve a holiday season that we'll never forget.

Pretty sure Gray will be wearing those olive green joggers, the striped sweater, and the olive vest in our holiday photos. I absolutely love all of these pieces and many of them include sizing from newborn to teen. All items are linked here.

I hope this is helpful if you are on the hunt for holiday outfits. It can definitely be hard figuring out what everyone in your family is going to wear + making sure everything looks cohesive and compliments one another. I also know family photos can be a bit stressful haha, so hopefully this takes a little of that stress off of your plate. As always, thank you for reading! -A

Holiday time is the one time we all have our cameras at the ready, we're in a strange new place, the sun is shining and we want to record our surroundings and happy memories. It used to be a bit of a clich in the old days of film that the average 24 or 36 exposure film would have the summer holiday in the middle and Christmas on either end. These were the two annual events that brought the cameras out from their dusty hiding places.

The problem with holiday photography is that you never seem to be in the right place at the right time. There are certain times of day that are better for photography than others. At midday the light is at it's brightest, the color of the light is quite cool and, because the sun is high in the sky, the shadows can be very harsh and awkward to deal with especially when photographing people. We've all taken those shots of faces with panda eyes, where the sun is so bright on the person's forehead, and the eye sockets are completely black. So the first and probably the most valuable piece of advice is:-

I'm sorry to have to tell you that, when it comes to getting the best shots of scenery, nothing beats getting up early. Yes, even when you're on holiday photography has to be done at the 'right' time of day. For the shot above, taken in Bruges in Belgium, I got up a little early and, while the rest of the party were having a leisurely breakfast, I went for a walk with my camera. This gave me three advantages over trying to get these shots in the middle of the day.

Although I am a very keen photographer, I will often buy a nice postcard or picture book of the places I visit, rather than settle for mediocre pictures of the place. Of course I will still try my best to get my own images but on a tour, the odds are definitely stacked against you getting the ultimate shot of a well know building or view. I think it is much better to try and look for little details that others might have missed.

So far in this tutorial all the pictures have been taken with the sun behind me (except the forbidden city shot which was a bit of a failure). The two pictures below were shot against the light (contre jour) which gives you a completely different effect. This works best when there are some interesting highlights in the picture, like the water in the left picture and the whiskers in the right hand one.

You have to be quite careful when shooting these contre jour pictures because the contrast range is very high and it is not easy to control the light. Sometimes I will take a series of bracketed exposures to make sure I get what I want. The other good thing about contre jour lighting is that the face is in shadow and the lighting in that area is quite flat, it's a good way to avoid panda eyes.

Don't put your camera away after the sun goes down, that's the time when you can get some of your best shots. If you can find something to lean on and have a steady hand, it is perfectly possible to take pictures like these hand-held. You would probably be advised to use a fairly high ISO setting say 1600 ISO and set the exposure compensation to -1 ev or so, maybe even -2ev, because you want the bulk of the picture, which is the sky, to be very dark. e24fc04721
