When you are taking portraits, there are a lot of aspects to take into consideration. While you will want to have some professionally done portraits done throughout your lifetime, you can still take some great family pictures with your digital camera.
Are you taking photographs of babies or other children? Take advantage of the most important feature of your digital camera - the ability to shoot lots of photos without wasting film. However, please limit kids exposures to bright light if you insist on using flash.
