Turn everyday photos into stunning works of art, with this essential guide to photography
Featuring gorgeous phographs takn by the members the photography industry’s largest social network of female photographers, Clickin Moms, this accessible and gift-worthy guide provides both the inspiration and skills every photographer needs to capture life’s beautiful moments as frameable pieces of art—from breakfasts to birthday parties and first steps to first days of school.
With big, bold images paired with short, easy-to-follow tips progressing from elementary to advanced, this book is perfect for amateurs and professionals alike, covering equipment, composition, posing, low light, natural light, black and white, still life, and lifestyle photography. Assignments for experimenting with lighting and shooting locations round out the chapters, and advice based on photographs from over 100 contributors include these priceless suggestions:
• Channel the old masters—painters such as Rembrandt and DaVinci are great inspiration
• Anticipate emotion—watch for laughter and surprise
• Embrace harsh lighting, backlighting, dappled sunlight and shade and use them to your advantage
• Emphasize texture and seek out patterns—repetition can be striking and bold
• Shoot from unexpected angles—sometimes the best shot is from below, behind, or above
Clickin Moms is contributing 100 percent of the royalties from Capture the Moment to the Ronald McDonald House, which provides accommodation for the families of seriously ill or injured children near the facility where a child is hospitalized.

Amazing read for and aspiring portrait photographer This book is a great read for any Aspiring portrait photographer! It’s beautifully done with many great pictures displaying the topic they are referencing on each page and the tips are fantastic, really helped me take my photography a step further. I also love that it has challenges to make you think and reach for better.
Great for all skill levels. Great inspiration. I really like this book. I love the large beautiful photos and the simple and direct wording above the photos, they give you simple inspiration with out telling you how to copy the image exactly. I have been taking photos for over 10 years and sometimes I get in a rut. I just got this book at the first few pages already got the creative juices flowing. It’s great for all skill levels!
