PKS-Photographer’s Kid Syndrome. People often say to me, “You must have amazing pictures of your kids.” Well, yes and no. I do in fact have some amazing pictures of my kids. But not as many as you might think. When your mom is a photographer, you tend get rather bored with the entire thing rather quickly. Even one year old PKs quickly learn to run away at the sight of a camera.
I try not to push my kids to be photographed if they don’t want to be. I take plenty of candid shots of them just being themselves, but I try to limit the number of actual photo sessions I do with them so I don’t wear them out. I find that if I wait it out, they often come to me and ask to be photographed.
Yesterday, I met with a couple of photographer friends for lunch. We brought the kids and my friend Amie’s little boy had a bad case of PKS. He wasn’t making eye contact for anything! But boy, was he a cutie. He had so much fun exploring down by the creek.
He is adorable, and I think that you know that I know all too well what this is like. I am actually considering hanging my clients children on my walls? Just kidding, of course 🙂
