:GIVEAWAY: Mamarazzi: Every Mom's Guide to Photographing Kids by Stacy Wasmuth


Wiley Publishing has recently received Mamarazzi: Every Mom's Guide to Photographing Kids by Stacy Wasmuth.

Every mom who loves taking pictures of their kids and wants to improve their skills NEEDS to get this guide!

One thing that I loved about this book is the down-to-earth writing style of the author. It felt like I was getting personal (and functional) instruction from a friend...rather than an author who wanted to impress with a bunch of hard-to-understand technical jargon.

Another great aspect of this guide are the stunning photographic example throughout the book. I was inspired to try locations, props and poses just from the initial flip-through!

AMAZON DESCRIPTION:

Moms, if you can't seem to take enough great photos of the children in your life, this is the book for you.  Now you can learn how to photograph children with the style, clarity, color, and beauty you see in professional photographs.  This fun guide combines humor with solid know-how to show you how to compose shots, handle cameras from basic compacts to advanced dSLRs, take portraits or candids, create prints that impress, and even work with kids! Packed with beautiful examples and written in a down-to-earth style from one mom to another, this book will help mamarazzis everywhere take better photos.
  • Moms are one of the fastest-growing segments of the camera-toting demographic, and the blogosphere has a term for them, mamarazzis
  • Mixes information, inspiration, and fun for women who want to take better photographs of the children in their lives
  • Explains how to set up a camera and use the controls on basic compacts up to advanced dSLR cameras

Become a better mamarazzi with this fun and informative guide!

I would like very much to win the book. I however am the mother to a 31 year old son who gives me dirty looks when I have my camera out. However, he did give me four grandchildren (three are girls) that are very acustum to having their pictures taken. Jasmine knows how to " strike a pose" lol She sees the camera and turns on the smiles and poses. she also asked me if I would buy her a pink camera when she turns five. she takes good photos too. I said yes to the pink camera.
Oh how I would love this book! I have 3 daughters and getting a great picture of all of them together is not possible! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

That would be such a fun book to learn from!
Timing couldn't be better for this for me! My first granddaughter arrived this week, and a second grandbaby is due in July! Both the mommies and me could use some advise for how to take great pictures of them.
Crossing my fingers!
My girl isn't a baby anymore, but I'd love to get pointers on how to relax her out of the grimace/grin we get a lot these days--from a girl who likes having her picture taken
