Hehe my DH also wants me to get a permit. As long as I can get my kids and I training on how to use the gun when the $ are there I am going to.My husband was recently suggesting I get a carry permit. He said he'd feel better about the kids and I running around in gator infested lands on our nature hikes.
OP, to answer your questions:
What are the best and worst things about being into photography and being a mom?
Three adorable kids who are always up to something. (This is the best and worst-if I am getting pics of one, what *are* the other two doings?!)
How do you get in time to shoot?
So far, I just do it when they are with me. I hope to work out some sort of "me" time this summer while we still have a sitter nearby. This fall? Our sitter will be off at school. We homeschool, so no back to school play time for this mommy.
Do you use different cameras when you are seriously shooting verses when just getting snaps of your kids?
I have a few cameras, but I am intent on carrying the D40 most places. It has a lovely backpack case to travel in and I want to make sure I can play whenever possible. My son may inherit my small p&s, with his going to his yr old sis. The two yr old can use the old fisher-price 35mm. I think hubby will use the Canon S5 on biz trips. (With some arm twisting from me- he is not into photography much, but he gets to/has to take some remarkable trips IMO. Maybe I just need to get out more LOL!)
And it is so true even while they are with me I can be shooting or have 1 next to me and the other one can be in to some thing making a mess in the next room. LOL
I want a back pack so bad I too carry my camera most places with me but in a total pain in the butt hard shell makeup like suite case.
