That's because most parents want their children to sit still and smile and most kids aren't the sit still and smile type. They want to run around. I would prefer them running around as well.
Two years ago I had the fun experience of photographing the Albertson grandchildren. This group was so well behaved - especially for having three 3 year olds in a group of 9!
I chose to feature this group because one of the moms is a college friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. Please pray for Andrea and her family.
Also - if anyone mentions this blog, they can get 10% off their Easter or Maternity photos!
