Mary, I'm an inveterate photographer and have tons of potential resource pictures of my kids, family, and friends. I'll bet if you looked you'd find plenty of raw material in your photo archives or albums. If not, get your circle of family and friends used to what it means to have an artist at large. With kids I find I can do well if I've got them in a chair (or highchair for a little one) or in some other location where they're used to remaining somewhat immobile. Engross them in a puzzle or a television program. Practice, practice, practice, and you'll find that the skills you develop with your own children will serve you in good stead with commissioned subjects of the kid-type.
