Years ago I worked for a year at Sears Portrait studio. I was really good as a photographer, catching great smiles and moods as the child was trying to dive off the table. Basic, but fun.
Stopped working there and bought a 35mm camera with a long zoom lens. I always loved taking pictures of people from a distance. I'd go off 20 yards, put up my tripod and take pictures of friends/family with genuine expressions, kids running and laughing, dogs, etc. Just beautiful pictures that I loved and that I loved taking.
After a death in the family I stopped photography. I just couldn't do it anymore. I always meant to go back to it.
Now I'm married with two kids who are very (very) active and expressive. I also have a husband who is into the whole digital camera thing.
I'm frustrated with theoretically capturing a picture of my kid's face only to have it turn into a picture of the back of their heads 3 seconds after the fact, then staged smiles.
Advice?
