Photographing Children Featured in Real Simple Magazine

I was thrilled to receive a call from my editor telling me that my book, Photographing Children Photoworkshop by Ginny Felch was featured in the current July issue of Real Simple Magazine. It is on Page 8 in "the simple list," How exciting is that!

It is titled: 3 tips for taking better pictures of your tots.

I love Real Simple Magazine and I know how popular it is with all ages, so I was thrilled to have the book featured there.

I wanted to show you a beautiful image that I delivered yesterday to the sweetest family in the East Bay. Such a beautiful child and it was created on an evening at the beach during twilight hours at low tide. Just a quiet and magical moment with a truly delightful child and her mom and dad. I love the soft light and harmonious colors, right down to her sweater. Her beautiful red/gold locks really vignette her face. Usually I tend to avoid centering the subject in a child's portrait, but it just seemed like the right thing to do in this case. Important to use that intuition sometimes!

Ironically, this image was taken two weeks after a California wildfire, and the evening light was crimson for quite some time. This was one of the images effected by unusually warm light.
