eileen_critchley's review against another edition
3.0
***1/2
She has a lot of good ideas in here about photographing your family's every day, and I think it would be a great book especially for new mom photographers. Much of what is mentioned I already do in my work. I also don't agree with some of her ideas (i.e. "a diagonal horizon line adds interest" just no. Also, shoot in A-priority or auto; I personally think learning Manual is best). Some of the photos are beautiful, but for many, iPhone apps such as Hipstamatic were used, which I think will date the book down the road; I think using more timeless images would have been better. I love Shutter Sisters and have followed them from the very beginning of my interest in photography. I think this book might be a better choice for someone newer to photography.
