The first thing that came to mind when I read this weeks photo challenge was our lives. Adam and I eloped a little over 2 years ago at this spot in Koh Samui, Thailand.
We eloped at The Kala Samui. You can read more about that amazing day here.
To merge is to blur the individuality or individual identity and on that day we created a partnership built on love, unity and a commitment to happiness.
merge with confidence and heart,
Nicole

Shoot in the morning and evening when light is best and kids are freshest. Capture the candid moments between the posed ones. Let kids take photos too because their perspective is genuinely interesting. And decide in advance whether you want to be a photographer on this trip or a participant because trying to be both fully is hard.
The best camera is the one you actually bring. A mirrorless camera with a versatile lens covers most situations well. A quality smartphone camera is capable of excellent results with the right light. The difference between gear levels matters less than being present enough to notice the moment worth capturing.
Get on their level rather than shooting down. Chase the light rather than the location. Let them be doing something rather than posing. Burst mode catches the expressions between the forced smiles. And the photos that feel most true are usually the ones nobody knew were being taken.
Photo books made annually keep memories organized and accessible. A travel journal written in the moment captures things photos miss. Kids writing or drawing about trips creates keepsakes they will treasure later. And sharing on a blog or with family back home adds an audience that makes the documentation feel worthwhile.
Places where kids have something to do rather than just stand in front of. Markets where there is movement and color. Playgrounds in foreign countries. Beaches. Anywhere the environment creates the context rather than requiring a perfect pose.

Awww. Nice take. 🙂 Definitely different. 🙂
I left this for you on the Daily Post page in answer to your trackback question: Easiest way is to copy what is posted there and add to your post. But make sure your post is in visual mode not text mode. 🙂
If you want to track back a specific blog friend’s post, you need to copy the URL of their post first (in that white box/line above each post), open your post in text not visual mode, write something (their blog name, their name, a word), then highlight it with your cursor, click on the box that says “link” in your post, ( a dialog box will open), add the URL you copied to the box that says URL. To add what you copied, just right click your mouse and click paste when a small box appears and then add link at the bottom of the bigger dialog box. Make sure your cursor is in the box that says URL and voila! you are done! Hope this helps. 🙂 It does become easy the more you do it. Here’s a simple example: Adventures We Seek
