“I love to share photos of my kids with family and friends,” Janet Grover-Manthey says. “We have a lot of family who live outside of Minnesota, so we use the Tinybeans app to keep everyone up-to-date on our activities. I’ve gotten in the habit of pulling out my camera whenever we’re out of the house, doing activities, but we’d been at a lot of parks lately, so I was playing around with different angles to keep things interesting. I also have to be creative because my kids don’t always want to participate in posing for pictures, so I’m getting lots of practice at taking candid photos. This was a fun moment where the angle and the action seemed to tell a story, even though my son didn’t want to say, ‘Cheese!’”
