Edited on 11/13. When Me Ra Koh came out with this book, she offered an additional autographed copy if you purchased through and left a glowing reviewing. So I did that. And guess what, I never got my additional autographed copy that was promised. I have sent emails, private messages on FB, and even public posts on her FB page. Nothing. Do I still like my book? Sure, it is very helpful to that momtograper in all of us but is it as amazing as everyone claims, not really. I just want you to know that when you read reviews on this book, they could easily be swayed by her offer that she has never fulfilled to all the people she promised.My initial review - I stumbled upon the amazing Me Ra Koh buy winning the first book in the series "Your Baby in Pictures" through a photographer I follow on Facebook. As soon as I received it, I read it cover to cover without getting up from my chair. I was in love with the images and clear directions on how to achieve such amazing photos of your baby (even with a point & shoot camera). I decided to buy "Your Child in Pictures" immediately after to prepare for all those photo worthy moments once my baby turned 1. I continue to be impressed with the amazing books she creates. So I was thrilled to hear a third book would be coming out. I bought it immediately and look forward to learning how to capture the many moments as my family grows. Thanks Me Ra Koh for helping moms (and dads) capture those incredible, unforgettable memories we all cherish for a lifetime.

I have been looking forward to Your Family in Pictures for quite some time now. If you've read Your Baby in Pictures and Your Child in Pictures, you'll be happy to hear it's done in the same format - easy to understand and is a great source of inspiration and confidence for those who want to begin capturing their children & families in a more meaningful way.One thing that is awesome about this book is that she has included photos from other women as well. I enjoying seeing how other people see their world and it's a great way to become inspired. Your Baby in Pictures was the first photography book I purchased when I bought my DSLR. Although I know how to shoot in manual now and have come a long way, I still love to read & review this series frequently! After all, my favorite thing to capture is my family!While Your Baby in Pictures is a fantastic baby shower gift, Your Family in Pictures is the perfect gift for ANY occasion for ANY mother (or grandmother)!! I know several people who will be getting this from me soon!!
MeRa Koh has created the third and final book in this series. I love how she in incorporates the photography of other women who have learned from her. Each person sees the world uniquely and photographs prove that point. Recording family life in photographs can be so fun when you use MeRa's photo recipes. This whole book series makes the perfect go-to gift for parents!
I CANNOT say enough about this book! I am an amateur budding photographer and this book is my bible when it comes to the "simplicity" of explaining what types of settings you should use for different situations. The pictures are great too! Perfect for showing examples of the type of scenes I want to create or to help me broaden my artistic side. A must have in your library!
When going into this book I was expecting a how-to in capturing those perfect family moments, but this book is more of an at home studio session for parents. I’m not a big fan of studio settings and staged smiles, so this isn’t exactly the kind of book I was looking for. That said, it did have useful information for an inspiring photographer looking for a fun little family studio time (I have no idea how to get kids to LIKE studio time, may the odds be in your favor).The book is in seven sections including Setting yourself up for Success (lighting, getting your family in the mood, using black and white photos), Developing a Photographer’s Eye (using shapes and textures, what to do in dark areas, using pics to tell stories), Everyday Life (Mealtimes, Sports, Bedtime, Saturday Mornings), Holidays, Family Portraits, Tweens & Teens (help us all!), and Family Vacations & Travel (including snow days and sunsets). It has “recipes” on how to get the perfect shot in situations and tells you the ISO, F-Stop, aperture, and every other setting you need on a DSLR to make the same shot. It also tells you what setting to use on a point-and-click camera if you don’t have a DSLR.That is a kind of hit and miss with me. Yes, I like how they explain the use of the ISO and everything, but the “recipe” is going to be different of dozens of factors. Your never going to get the exact angle or light, or have the same camera and lens. I might be being a bit harsh, but I’m thinking beginners with brand new DSLRs using these “recipes” and just can’t figure out why their pictures still aren’t coming out right.Overall, Your Family in Pictures is a good little book for beginners who want a photo-shoot and not necessarily the perfect candid shots. It might take a bit of time, and a LOT of patience if kids are involved.
