I hate to be the one to say it...But why would one want to be good with
"the kind of pictures that high street photographers excel at?" I

your photo Simon!) As I parent, I have never wanted posed, stilted,
preening photos of my children. Give me good photos of children living
their lives, not photos of children stuffed and mounted..;-)
