Default Parents, do you find you favor one kid over another in...

your photography? Do you ever have parents guilt over it? Sometimes I do. I know it is not intentional of course but I seem to end up with more pictures of my youngest daughter. I find myself consciously trying to make sure I get more shots of my older daughter (but I seem to get the hand a lot). Maybe she is not the ham she used to be now that she is a tween.
Any thought of your own on this topic? Has it ever crossed your mind?

I have tons more pics of my granson than I do of the granddaughters. Mostly because he was around alot more. With that being said (and I am so glad my daughter cant see this) he is more photogenic than the girls. Not that he is cuter or I favor him but he just seems to like the camera more

I tried to torture all three equally by taking their pictures while they were growing up

Definitely. Any picture you take of my daughter is a good one, she just comes out perfect in pictures. On the otherhand, it is impossible to take a good picture of my son, his eyes are closed, or he has a dumb look on his face or he has a stupid fake smile -- I don't think we have a single good picture of the boy.

I would try to shoot them all equally, but some want me to photograph them and others don't. So, I don't feel guilty I have fewer of the uncooperative ones, it's their own choice. I do feel bad for my oldest three that I don't have many good photos of them when they were little. I had a crappy film camera and was too poor to take and develop lots of shots. But I can't help that, so I try not to feel guilty about it.

I have gazillions more photos of my daughter than my son, simply because most of the time he doesn't let me take his picture, and when we sit down for a shoot, he loses patience with me and I can only crank out a few before he bolts. LOL!

Yep, got tons of pictures of my stepdaughter and I think about 2 of my boys. But that's because she just loves to pose whether its a MySpace photo or a DMV picture.

Of course....my 13 year old boy will run away from the camera while my 15 year old runs to.

Although I'm more prone to "forcing" my 13 year old to come with me to take pictures, even as much as he hates it.
