iPhone Fun {Clickin Moms Creativity Blog Circle}

This month's Clickin Mom's creativity challenge was to use your camera phone.  I have an iPhone 4 - so I used that to take all of the pictures in this post.

As a professional photographer, I'm always trying to capture those perfect moments - the one you and your family want to remember forever.  I want to walk away from every shoot feeling like my clients will cherish the pictures I give them.  I definitely want to do the best job I possibly can.

Over the last year or so, I have a new found love for taking pictures with my iPhone.  As a mom, sometimes I want to just savor the moments while not always worrying about capturing the perfect picture or lugging around my big camera.  I love it.  I can capture my kids in the everyday moments without the extra pressure I put on myself when I have my big camera out.  My iPhone frees me from the perfection I often strive for with my dSLR.

{Pictures to Practice}

I often use my iPhone just for practice shots - whether it's lighting, locations or whatever.  In the first picture we were on a family trip to Tulsa.  I loved the lighting in the hotel room.  In the second picture, I was in search for a new bridge to use during my photo sessions - so my kids were happy to help me out.  :-)

{Pictures at the Park}

This was just a fun rainy day for us at the park.  I knew I didn't want to take my dSLR but I still wanted to capture them having fun and playing. 

{Pictures on Vacation}

And for those fun, quirky vacation pictures I wanted to share on Instagram, I used my iPhone camera too.  These were taken on our summer trip to Myrtle Beach this year.
