Candid Photography
Everyone knows what the definition of candid photography is right? An un-posed and unplanned photography of someone. I will be doing tons of this come the end of March. I’m headed back home to Texarkana, AR for my Big Momma’s 84th birthday party. She has this shindig every year, but I’ve never had the opportunity to attend. This year it will be a surprise to her that I will be showing up with her newest 8 month old great grand baby.
She’s been talking to my sister and mother, who lives in Texarkana, about if I’d be coming down this time. My sister played it off well. She told her that she didn’t know if I was or not and that she would have to ask. Good one Sis!
So I did a search on how to take good candid photography. I need good picks of my family. I current don’t have any good ones. Or at least any I could use as photography around my house. I miss them dearly. I hardly get the chance to go home much. Living in Lincoln, Nebraska is a bit far to just drive home over the weekend. And now that gas price are higher than the clouds…”enough said.”
My aunts that I haven’t seen in several years are going to be there. Plus they haven’t meet Prayse yet. It’s going to be a grand ole time. My family is loud and no one is shy to speak. We are the masters of having cross conversation. And, amazingly, nothing goes unheard. I miss them.
So, if there are some good tips that you know of, feel free to send me some links or even comment to let me know what I can do to make myself better at candid photography.

I was like you — simply love the idea of taking candid shots. I have taken countless candid shots of people and they always remark how appreciative they are of these shots. Of course, there were people who appreciate posed shots more. Anyway, I must say “well done” to your shots. Keep up the good work.
