Eric -

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard lately.  Since when are people 
not an appropriate subject for photographs?  Some of the most famous photos 
in history have been taken of family members.  Eugene Smith's "Walk to 
Paradise Garden" are his own two children.  You should photograph what you 
love and what touches your heart.  If that happens to be rocks and trees, 
fine.  If it happens to be your own daughter, wonderful!  You won't have to 
go out searching for subjects.  Your favorite subject is right 
there.  Perhaps the only thing you need to change is the opinions you respect.

Leically,

Tina
