It's not always about getting the perfectly posed family photo with everyone smiling looking at the camera. Its about capturing an essence of the family and their love for each other through the little moments. 
My kids are my muse and they are not the type of kids to stay still smiling when instructed.
Well...my kids are just kids not models. They are just like an other kid out there.  So its my mission to try to capture their personality as that is what I will want to remember when I'm old and grey, not how smooth their clothes were.
