Photography tip
Locations
I thought it would be great to share some great spots to go to get really great family pictures. I put the question out on facebook and Danielle suggested the Arboretum. I am embarrassed to say I’d never been! So Sara and I decided to check it out. Trees, shade, open spaces, river, flowers – what a gorgeous gorgeous spot! And even without particularly cooperative subjects I got some great photos!! (I also would recommend this is a great spot to bring your kids just to run around and explore and run off energy 🙂
She looks sad, but it kind of makes the photo I think 🙂
Down by the river
No kids, but I love this.
So much room to run and run!
I could have done an entire post on just this place – we may have to eventually. I didn’t even tell you about squirrel town!
Next week – Mackenzie King Estate
My two picks for this week
H is for hugging – these are the moments that make it all worthwhile…. until the strangling and hitting starts 😉
N is for night. – I was so excited to get a sleeping photo of him. I used to be jealous of sleeping photos because I would never risk waking my kids by taking one. And now he’s an awesome sleeper and didn’t budge when I took half a dozen photos of him 🙂
Participants’ photos
Z is for zoom by Dani. I love the lighting and the creativity of this shot. So fun!
S is for swinging by Sara. I SO need to figure out how to shoot on manual. Very cool effect.
H is for hugging by Lilypilly. My oh my that’s a cute puppy!
Lara is the mom to 3.5 year old Kiernan and 1 year old twins Quinn and Juliette. You can find her at her blog Gliding Through Motherhood.
Kids in the Capital 
Thanks for a great morning! We had so much fun and I’m really happy with the shots I got. Now I need to remember (as Tyra says), ‘find my light, find my light’…
Oh, love ALL the shots this week, but that one of your group hug and Lilypilly’s gorgeous portrait — lovely!
(Thanks for choosing my future hogg rider, too!)
