I love this, Suzy! I’m currently in Hawaii with my three kids and asked my 10 year-old to photograph my daughter and I in front of the sunset last night. With pretty much zero direction, he lined our bodies up in front of the sun and nailed a perfect silhouette. I was ecstatic, and I could tell he was really proud of making such a beautiful picture. ❤️

“All you have to do is look for things that make you feel happy or you really love, and then you take a picture of those things. Like, do you see anything in the yard right now that makes you happy?”

This is probably the best photography advice I’ve ever heard! I’ve always tried to explain it but I over do it. This is the most simple, basic form of photography.

Well written, great advice, and what a beautiful journey!

Ohhhhh I love that!! It reminds me of a camera similar I got from Kodak that is basically like a reusable disposable camera. Let me know how your 8 year old likes it (and send me pics if you remember!). Thank you for sharing that link! 😝🙏❤️
