:Sigh:  I can definitely sympathize with you parents out there trying to take amazing photographs of your children.  This summer I attempted to do so; and while I did get  a handful of good images…it ended up being more stressful than rewarding.  Hence why I typically hire out this kind of thing, lol:)  Actually, one of my photography friends emailed me a couple months ago asking about our beach portraits and at the time I didn’t have our summer vacation planned.  Now I wish I had of hired her this summer because I really could have used a great album called “Summer 2009″ to add to the coffee table.
