If your kids are interested in exploring photography, they’re going to need something to take pictures with. It doesn’t have to be their own camera, necessarily.

Header Photo: An out-of-focus portrait of me taken by my 3-year-old on my digital camera Children are naturally curious—about everything. Walter is three, and my Google search history is full of things like, “When do bats hibernate?” and “How does bacteria leave your body after the antibiotic kills it?” In my experience, photography is no […]
My son Walter is three and a half, and he has enjoyed taking pictures for a while. Maybe it will turn into an enduring interest, or maybe he just sees me with my DSLR and wants to do what Mom is doing. Either way, I plan to encourage his interest in photography as long as […]
