I’m always looking for great information that will help my own photography and hopefully yours. Recently I came across this National Geographic article on adventure photography. It illustrates some great ideas that you can implement the next time you are out with your family or friends. Remember that you don’t have to try all of these at once. The idea is to experiment with any one particular method, and see how it works for you. Photography and text by National Geographic photographer Mark Thiessen.

There are only so many days that your son will crawl before he learns to walk, and so many chances you’ll get to photograph your daughter’s fine blond curls before they become a full head of hair. Kids grow fast, and stages of their growth can slip right by. Years from now, when you want to look back on a certain time, you’ll want to have a perfect picture to wrap around those memories.
Though babies are great subjects for portraits, they’re usually the least cooperative. Capturing a particular expression usually means having your camera ready. What else do you need to know? Here’s a few of my favorite tips.

No doubt there are many wedding moments you won’t want to miss. The best way to ensure your photographer captures the right moments for all posterity is to provide a suggested shot list. Of course, the style and number of these images will all depend on the photographer you’ve chosen and how long you’ve hired that pro for, but a shot list of photos you’d love to have is a great way to cover your bases. Since you should count on at least five minutes per shot, it’s unrealistic to expect all the photos below, but pick and choose those shots that mean most to you.

Before you start calling photographers, first decide which visual style suits you. Photographers fall into three general camps: photojournalists, traditional wedding photographers, and those with a balanced bag of tricks. If you loved your sister’s nuptial snapshots and most of them are candid black-and-white action shots, you’re probably leaning toward a cameraman with a penchant for photojournalism. If you prefer portraits and posed shots, a traditionalist is for you. Ambivalent? Can’t agree? Seek out that special mix.
