Yes. I always ref your picture for inspiration. Hehe . Was trying to do that on my personal trip as well...
Do you always have to find yourself running up and down to "stage" the scene? Or you see a composition coming up.. then anticipate.. BAM take the shot.. lots to learn from ya.
Most of it is staged. I usually see some picture which is worth taking, ask my wife to bring the kid there and do something natural.... try not to look posed although it is posed. like walk a bit, interact with the kid, etc. Then I take the pics.
