I&#8217;d managed on each of the previous four posts to stay more or less on theme with a particular facet of photography, but had so much left to say that I was overwhelmed as to how to sum it all up coherently.  Then, inspiration struck.  <\/p>\n<p>You had been feeding me some excellent questions and ideas throughout the week, so I turned to the comment box and found my Muse.

I had started a Family Photographer category here last year, but it kind of petered out on me.  Obviously, I need to take Rebecca&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/2010\/07\/15\/breaking-news-another-guest-post-and-another-canadian-family-giveaway\/#comment-188969\">suggestion <\/a>and pick up the thread again here.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And now for the freebies &#8212; everybody loves the freebies, right?

Photography is so personal, and whenever I&#8217;m invited into someone&#8217;s personal space (office, home, even blog or social media account) I&#8217;m always fascinated by which pictures they prominently feature.  Thank you for that, and for your support and encouragement throughout the Family Photographer series.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, here&#8217;s the last subscription giveaway.
