Me, personally I'm a top photographer that can turn out anything the client wants to spec, because I'm good at working with adult models. But on the there hand I have 2 kids and and really suck at taking pics of kids. I take my kids to Sears or Walmart for pics. I put those guys in the dirt when it comes to lighting, experience, and skills, but they put me me in the dirt when it comes to positioning, kids and getting the best pics out of kids.


I honestly should try working with my kids with some of the techniques, that I see these Sears and Walmart guys use. But when pics cost me less than $40 with a coupon, why try.


And another sad thing is I take all of my kids pics and vids with and iPhone. Knowing lighting and using manual settings I get some pretty sick pics with an iPhone 5S. I like to back light using the sun and positioning and the iPhone Flash gives off a nice front light pop. My family thinks that I dragged out my 6K Nikon and lighting rigs when they see all of my Kids pics. lol
