Capture the Moment by Sarah Wilkerson

     I'd love to say I got a huge rush when I got this book, but no. My oldest daughter moved home after five years and decided to open my box herself. She grabbed MY camera and MY book and just made herself at home while I was still at work. And then sent me a text saying how much she loves the book. Yeah, thanks.


     As a beginning photographer, she took some really great photos with the book as her guide. She does have the best natural light in her bedroom.  She took lots of pictures of herself along with our two Boston Terriers.  

     She did say the picture examples with the camera info on them were a great help.


So, that's her review. My review is:


     I really love the way it's written for hands-on moms. The photograph examples are just beautiful and really give you the confidence to replicate them.


    "Turn off your flash- Avoid red-eye and unexpected bright glares by turning off your camera's automatic flash. This will greatly improve the quality of your images in most situations."  This is probably the best advice to give a beginner, along with TAKE THAT CAMERA OFF OF AUTOMATIC!! Don't be scared, yall.

     Overall, great book, outstanding pictures, and perfect pictures. The only thing I didn't like was that all or most of the photos were taken by a Nikon or Cannon. I have an Olympus, so I was looking for other Olympus photos.  Not that big of an issue!
