I probably wouldn't think anything of it if a strange woman approached me and said, "Excuse me, but I'm a budding child photographer and am looking for models. Would it be OK if I photographed your children sometime?"<br /><br />But if it were a man, I would be very, very wary! He would have to be -exceptionally- nonthreatening and noncreepy.Alexis C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08727635800678448238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552584137492521248.post-47451931753601885382010-03-13T21:25:56.503-05:002010-03-13T21:25:56.503-05:00Thanks for the insight!

I noticed that Model Mayhem didn't have any.<br /><br />I'm at the point in my life where I have small children, and so do many of my friends, so I don't normally lack for subjects ... but it seems like it would be tricky for someone who isn't in the same position to practice their child photography skills.Alexis C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08727635800678448238noreply@blogger.com
