This book will be one of those that I continually turn to for reference, as I endeavor to improve my own family photos. It's well organized and each topic provides something I didn't know before about capturing the images of my family and friends. It's caused me to rethink how I do things, when I grab my camera or even my smart phone. This book is well worth the purchase and exceeded my own expectations. Well done.

This book is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't want complicated technical explanations, I just want to take better pictures of my family! I've been trying out some of the ideas, and my pictures are more interesting and, well, better already. Hooray! I can do it! Thanks!!

Simply but beautifully written book that will inspire everyone to take more meaningful and memorable family pictures. Ms Drucker shows you how to capture those rare and everyday moments that make up a families "real life".

This book offers, “Professional Tips for the Home Photographer.” Like many people, I suspect, I take most of the photo’s that I take, of my children. The author of this book – although obviously a keen photographer herself – also found that she was inspired when her own children were born. As such, this is a book which will appeal to beginners, like myself, and which may encourage you to experiment a little with the type of photographs you take.The book is split into different sections: the Basics, Babies, Kids and Family. Even if you take pictures mainly with your mobile, there are tips about how to do the best you can. I really enjoyed reading this and it made me think about how I can take more interesting portraits of my own children and family. Possibly, this will appeal more to beginners, than amateur photographers; but if you are looking for more imaginative ways to photograph your babies/children and are not sure how to go about it, then this will have lots of appeal.

What a beautiful display of real life photos, but more importantly, a wonderfully written resource for anyone wanting to capture the beauty in everyday life! This instantly has become my go-to gift for new parents!

Now I know what to get all the parents and grandparents in my life for the holidays this year! This is an inspiring book for the family photographer - full of lovely photographs and creative suggestions on how to capture those tender, fleeting moments in a family's life. Some of the ideas are so simple: take photos of the stands or the dugout during your child's game, instead of always focusing on the action on the field. Photograph your "tween" in his or her own room, playing an instrument or reading a book. But don't force her to "look happy." And yet these simple ideas are likely to yield much more poignant results than the typical "everyone say cheese" directives. My own family photos are better already (although I haven't yet been able to convince my teen to clean her room so I can take some photos there).
