Tip 18: Get Down Low
Prompt: Capture the relationship between your child and their pet.
----------
Since we don't have a pet, I decided to try to capture one of my kids with their (stuffed) animal. I'm still having trouble getting the lighting right within my house. I'm not sure I can very well as our house is usually darker,

Tip 19: Silhouettes
Prompt: Find an area free from distractions and capture your child's silhouette.
----------
I knew I wouldn't have the time or right location to try for a better silhouette, so I tried this shot on the church playground. It didn't turn out how I hoped it would, and I'm not sure it could have.

----------
Shelby loves the swings!

Tip 21: Manual Focus
Prompt: Photograph something that represents who your child is at this age without them actually being in the frame.
----------
All my girls love to draw and color. The older two are particularly enjoying taking an art class this year. It's been an inspiration to them doing more drawings at home!

Tip 22: Backlighting
Prompt: Photograph your child while they are quietly reading.
----------
I tried to use a window at church to get some light behind Shelby. But I didn't think about the cars being in the parking lot and in the way. So I moved to the side to avoid getting a car in the picture, but it changed the way the light hit her. Oh well. I do understand what it means to use backlighting, even though I didn't do it well here.

Tip 23: Looking Into the Frame
Prompt: Encourage your child to tell you a story and photograph their facial expressions.
----------
This was about as far as we got trying this prompt. Cheyenne just giggled and giggled and couldn't do anything else after that.

Tip 24: Slow Shutter Speed
Prompt: Capture your kids running past you, around you, or on a bike or scooter.
----------
This challenge was supposed to create motion blur within a picture. While I'm starting to understand how to do that better (which I would have liked to know better for when the fair was here), I don't care for it with pictures like this. I'd rather have Cheyenne in focus.
