The saying is that the "cobbler's children have no shoes," and I've often heard it said that photographer's children have no portraits. This is definitely not the case in my family. My children have been in front of the lens since day one. I think of anyone in the world, a photographer should understand the importance of capturing their children. I have, at times, had to bribe my children to go along with my crazy photo plans. I am thankful that they put up with me and my camera. :) I love being able to look back through the photos and see how much they have changed, even if they're just candid moments at the park. My kids look at me like I'm a little crazy when I get all sappy over a picture of them, but I'm sure one day they'll appreciate having the memories immortalized in images.
