Tuesday Tip #3

Boy does a week roll around quickly!  I hope you've been enjoying my tips so far.  While I think every family should be professional photographed, you should also be able to take the best possible pictures when you don't have a photographer with you! :)

Tracy's Tuesday Tip #3: Off-center is okay!

You don't have to center the subject of your picture.   In fact, your picture will probably be a lot more interesting if your subjects are off-center.  Imagine a grid of nine equal parts over your picture.  You generally want your objects of interest to lie on or near the cross points on the grid, because it creates more energy and interest.  Here's an example of what I'm talking about.  Notice that her body and the sand-line are along the lines of the grid, with her face falling near one of the grid intersections.
