Here are just a few images from my nephew's fourth birthday party today at a park in Plano. He's quite the character, as were most of the rest of the people there ... me included! Shooting photographs of kids isn't all that hard. The key is letting them be kids, just as that's the best way to let 'em eat cupcakes. Kids are washable, after all!
I shot all of these with a 70-200 f/2.8 zoom lens, and I had a flash mounted on the camera to lift some of the highlights in the shade or balance the daytime sun elsewhere. The lens isn't cheap, but a good lens can make a difference more than a fancy camera. The digital SLR I used is a model released four years ago, but the older tech has held up very well.
