We all love children--and especially love our own children. Fifty years ago, photography was saved for the occasional family portrait or outing. Nowadays, we begin photographing our children when they are coming out of the womb and seem determined to document their every event. From my experience, this causes two phenomenons that may exist within the same child at various points in their development. When they become sensitized to being photographed they may turn into a poser, promptly striking a pose and delivering a smile on cue. They could also turn into a hider and cover their face and get mad when you start to take their pictures. Neither of these is desirable since what you really want are candid photos of your children living their lives. So stop posing your kids and follow these simple techniques for getting better photographs of your children.

on 4/6/2008 when i was a teenager i complained a lot about there being so many pictures of me in all my awkward stages, but as soon as i left adolescence i was pretty glad about the existence of a "tapestry" of my young life!
