Just before Christmas I gathered some friends and their families for a photo shoot in a rental photo studio. It was a full day with shooting parents and their kids (with different success, some liked it a lot and were great models, others had a bad day and ran around trying to avoid getting caught on film). But, child photography is really hard, and including parents can sometimes making it even harder. So, except for a day or so every year, I try my best to avoid it.
