Notes And Photos Blog

Ah, it is soon the birthday of my son: 9 years old the little man! He is almost a man and I can’t wait to celebrate the big dasy. I want to keep him young and small but I know, eventually, he will become taller than I.

I am expecting a mega headache this weekend but at least, my son will be happy. Nothing better than announce his birthday with a Notes and Photos card.

Sit your child by a bright window in a darkened room. This will intensively expose the part of the face that receives direct light and cast the contours of the shaded side into contrasting shadown. Here are some tips to embellish the photo:

• Position the child near a window where you like the light.
• Ideally, the light should hit your subject at an angle approximately 45 degrees to one side.
• Sidelighting emphasizes texture, so try dressing your kids in plush velvet, rugged denim, or nubby knits.

It is while we were doing some Twitter research that Notes and Photos found this website. It was createdc by a busy mom (aren’t we all!). She tells the ups and downs of being a single mom who works full-time and take care with great love of her child.

We love the simple and charming way she writes her blog and invite you to read it also: http://professionmaman.com/

What do you think happen when you take a photo of your child by shooting upward? Your child comes across confident. With this positioning, combined by shooting outside, it often means to frame your child against the blue sky. You will end up with a simple photo, with being clutter down in the background,

Two elements that can’t be ignored despite all:

-       Position your child to minimize squinty eyes and dark shadows.

As you know, Savannah is now gone to her camping trip. One of the things they asked us, parents, to do was to write a letter to your child.

Like they said, I have done more than that! Not only I wrote her a letter but I convinced many relatives and friends to do the same, even her little brother. The letter I wrote her, exclusively in French, will make her think a lot what I wrote. She is not really fluent in reading French yet.

When I wrote to her, I realized how we never say enough that we love our child and that we will always be there for him or her. A true love lesson…
