Our color this week is RED. I don’t take photos outside very often, so I went a bit nuts and have three this week.
Here are my red photos:
Our first photography tip comes from Rebecca Cooper who blogs at Simple As That. A professional photographer, Rebecca has written an eBook called 40 Top Tips for Better Photos that contains easy-to-follow instructions with lots of images to guide you! Since most of want to capture images of our children, this first tip is one that is easy to apply.
No More Cheese Please. While it may seem to do the trick, asking your child to ‘say cheese’ will yield a smile that is just that…cheesy. Try engaging your child in a conversation about something they are interested in (ie. an upcoming birthday, their favorite tv show, a recent family trip, what you’re going to do after pictures) and be ready to catch that winning smile. While it may take a little more time, that beautiful smile is always worth the wait!
Want to participate in our free photography challenge? It’s super easy! Here’s how it works:
- Take a picture the represents the color of the week.
- Write a blog post that features your picture and link it up.
- Visit other people’s posts and hopefully find some inspiration!
- You can put the button and link code on your blog if you wish but it’s not a requirement

I love the pictures that you took! Especially the one of the car. It reminds me of the vintage cars my grandfather used to have.

I love vintage cars, and this pic is classic! Actually I cannot decide which of the three I like the best. Being 50, the wagon speaks to me of an empty nest! Not sure why I like the two red doors, but they beg me to come inside. Great pics!
Stacie says
Cool photos! My fave is the red wagon in the rain.
Heather Johnson says

Love these! I always wanted a big red door for my house. I think there is something so friendly about that…
