Motherhood Moment: Consumer Critique: Envisioning Family

I recently had the chance to review Envisioning Family: A photographer's guide to making meaningful portraits of the modern family (Voices That Matter) by Tamara Lackey. This book intrigued me, primarily because my husband is learning more about photography, so I thought it would give him some good tips. The funny thing was, the part that I liked best about the book bored him - but I guess that's a major difference in personality between us.

The book begins with a couple of chapters on the meaning of family. I found those chapters very interesting, probably because they did tend to tug on the heartstrings a little bit. As I expected, it also had chapters dedicated to the gear a photographer should have and the aesthetics of framing a photo. What I really liked was that it also included tips on making a connection - vital if you're doing family photography, since most people want a photo that looks natural, not forced or artificially posed.

The author has a very clear and comfortable writing style. I also love that she includes a wide variety of pictures showcasing many different photography styles and family types throughout the book. Not only does the written text provide a great deal of information, but the pictures can provide quite a bit of inspiration. On the whole, this is a good book for anyone who wants to improve their ability to take family photos.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy to facilitate my review.
