I'm worse than you all. I take very few pics because when we get together as a family I'd rather visit everybody than take pics. When I do take them, they also sit in the camera. How do you juggle visiting and getting pics? Any suggestions?
I don't have any solution for this. I'm like you. I prefer to visit. DH usually insists on having the camera at family gatherings. He doesn't take many photos either. But at least he takes more than I would!
I have a friend who has a knack for taking them though. She makes it a thing the family does when they get together. They take candid shots as well as posed shots. But then her DH and she are very good photographers and people just love having them take photos of them. They shoot weddings on weekends for extra cash.
I notice when you're at her place she does the entertaining and her DH is wandering around with the camera. He usually pulls it out for about half an hour and shoots lots of photos, then puts it away for the rest of the evening. So he gets to visit too.
