With Halloween just around the corner, the cameras are certainly going to be flashing away with all the amazing pictures that will be taken of all of the little ghouls and ghosts in their costumes, to the amazing houses decorated to scare those little ghoulies and ghosties. Years before your photos just ended up looking a little less than amazing. This year you are bound and determined to capture those precious memories with some "professional" style. So hers some tips on how to achieve great Halloween photos this year.

Finding A Point of Interest- make sure you know what the focal point is of your picture. The focal point will need to be the attention holder of the photo. The item or person you will see first when looking at the picture. Once you have determined the focal point make sure it is absolutely perfect. It may be hard to achieve that with children, but pick the older child, place him in the middle of the other children, standing tall and then tell him to "BE STILL" and keep smiling. His steadiness will make him the focal point.

Filling In Your Frame-To add that added punch to your photos make sure you fill in as much as possible into the picture. To achieve a nice tight shot with people is to make sure you add as many as your frame will allow. To fill in your frame an object the best way is to zoom into the object closer so you can remove any excess blank background.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.

Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp
