[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH isn't bad at taking photos.  But I have no problem asking a stranger to take one.  [/quote]

Yeah but then you only get posed photos. You can't ask a stranger to take photos of you playing with your kid or reading to them or whatever.

My spouse is terrible about taking those kind of slice of life photos and I just don't like posed pics that much (also my kids are at the age where the hate taking them). I sometimes feel like we will just not have any documentation of me actually spending time with and parenting my kids other than a series of posed photos where their eyes are closed.[/quote]

Same boat here. Ask your DH to take video of you with your kids- just a minute a day. Then you can sort through the videos and find some good still photos. [/quote]

That's a really good idea. I wouldn't do it every day but I could see doing this on days I really want to document -- take some videos of us baking a cake or opening gifts on a birthday. Or of us hanging out on mother's day! Those are the days I wish he'd take some photos but if I ask him he will insist we sit and pose and grin at the camera and that's not the kind of photo I want.[/quote]
