How to Photograph your Kids!?!
I don’t think it matters what type of camera you own. I went to college with a guy who always had to have the latest, greatest and most expensive equipment available, it didn’t help him at all. A great photographer can take an amazing shot with any camera.
Of course, fancy equipment does have some benefits in addition to being fun but it certainly isn’t everything! I would strongly suggest getting to know whichever camera you own. Kids have short attention spans and won’t hold a pose for very long so it is important to be able to get the shot quickly. It also helps to keep the camera in an easily accessible place, ready at a moments notice.
All camera’s have good and bad points (yes, even the most expensive ones!!), so it is helpful to know a little about your own camera. The best way to do this is by using it regularly. A stuck record, I know but it is the fastest way to figure it out. Try using it in different conditions – like, sunny days, cloudy days, at night, indoors, with flash and without etc. Practicing these types of situations will allow you to be better prepared so you can get great pics at any event!
