The key to photographing children? Patience, planning, and readiness.

My three year old daughter is a fantastic photographer!!! She fancies a Nikon coolpix that is several years old. She can zoom in and often says, “that’s a good shot”
How could I be more proud? We recently went to Grand Rapids MI to the Artprize walk, and she photographed artists…. very cool. Many people were amazed, but I told them she is good and thankfully hasn’t dropped the camera!
Great idea and we will post some photos!!!!

Before I read about this challenge, I went with our grankids to Manhattan Beach pier in CA. I gave my camera to my 7 year old grand daughter and told her to take some photos. She started clicking away at the surfers, pigeons, gulls, and I then showed her how to use the telephoto. She said it made the ship off shore look like she could touch it! She just needs to work on holding the camera straight, but it was a bit heavy! I think she’s ready for her own camera and the challenge!

I had bought a very inexpensive demo p&s for my now 7 year old son last year. It is quite interesting to see his perspective– most of his shots are “looking up”

My son loves to take pictures with his mother mobile phone (3,8 yo). I can not give him my DSLR because it will be to heavy for him and I can’t risk my only SLR camera as well. .

Perhaps next time I will share his photo shoot if it’s this appropriate for this assignment, because we’re only use phone cam instead of real cam.

This is my pic of Gavin, my 5 year old Grandsom’s best image. We were walking around a friend’s farm and he looked over at the donkey and framed the pic himself and took. I was amazed later how good it was.

Gavin’s favorite pic of mine is this bee landing on a Sunflower in the garden at the farm.

Great idea & I can second how fun this is! On our recent family vaca at Cape Cod (6 adults & 6 kids age 7 to 13), two adults took all the kids out for a photo walk. The area is woods, beach, dirt lanes. The kids had a blast and fed off each others’ imaginations. That evening each child picked out their 15 favorite shots and we all enjoyed the slideshow. It was cool to see each child’s different perspective on the same object or scene!!

I think it’s so cute when Aaron’s daughter said, “you don’t have to tell nature to smile.”
