Never work with children or animals

Well I haven't really worked with animals apart from taking photos of my own cats, who I now almost have trained to pose. However this weekend was my first experience of photographing little children and babies.

My weak spot in photography is certainly directing people, with children this is even harder as I found out on Sunday, turns out 18 week old ignore you completely, 18 month olds have their own agenda, 3 years are easily distracted, by everything and then you have 6 year olds who over pose.

Despite all this I really enjoyed taking photos of kids this weekend (was done as some fathers day gifts), it hasn't put me off and has im looking forward to the next one.
