Joel,
It does sound like 'much'. I personally know well how much fun a kid's
shoot can be. Getting the results back is all a part of the experience too.
The range of emotion in the kids as you turn over the next picture: "is it
good", "is it in focus", "did I get it right". When they turn over one
they're proud of, the big smile makes being a parent all worthwhile.
Your son will remember his photo shoots with you for years to come. I
encourage anyone with kids to do it. Go the next step and pick up an OM-G
for $50 or less. Make it THEIR camera. They'll be so proud.
