Clevinger Family Photo Shoot!!!

Photographers tend to fall into two categories when it comes to Family Photography.  They either love it or they hate it.  Photographing kids can be a challenging endeavor at the best of times.  Telling a kid to sit pretty for an hour while you frame the perfect shot is not likely to work.  A family photographer has to learn to work with all the chaos.  I wish I had some great tips and tricks for other family photographers out there but in my opinion, there isn't a formula for getting a kid to sit still.  My philosophy is that if you can't beat them, join them!  Kids have a ton of energy and they are always moving so I just set my camera on the highest shutter speed I can reasonably get away with and I chase after them :)  While it means that instead of getting 20 great shots, I might only get 10, this works for me.  I like to photograph kids in their natural environment, outside and having fun.  This makes for a fun, fast-paced, and much more interesting shoot.  When I do get that one great shot, it's so much more rewarding for the patience it took to get it :)
