The more I photograph different 'categories' ... the more I realize that photographing children just isn't my thing!
I turned a HUGE hobby into full time employment because of boudoir photography - a need for it, and a desire to help make women feel beautiful! But alas - it doesn't always pay the bills! So I ventured into other types - weddings, commerical, children and family ... and I quickly learned that I liked what I thought I'd hate, and hate what I thought was easy.
Weddings - something I swore I would never do - and after doing a few, have learned, I like it alot more than I expected. And, it's big money.
Commercial is something else I like as well - using different lenses on the same subject, helping other small business get their feet off the ground - with really good quality pictures (bc yes - it does make a difference!)
But families and children ... I think I need to buckle down and just say no!! lol

Wow!! That has to very tough to do. Parents can very touchy, when I work at Home Depot we used to tell parents for the kids to stop playing on the ladders and other equipment and would get mad.

Exactly! My studio is in my home ... so it's hard. Things have been damaged and it's so hard ... to just bite your tongue at times, and remain polite.
