Some thoughts on "moments" (2).
Family:
This is from mostly photographing our own family.
The main thing is to always have your camera with you, and know how to use it.
For indoor shots I almost always use a fast lens (f2-f2.8) and available light.
For outdoors use almost any lens will be fine, however with active children you will need a lens that will focus quickly and know how to set the camera up for fast, accurate focussing (focus tracking on)
Here are some examples.
#1 - Fatherhood. In hindsight I could have done this better by upping the ISO (to 1600) and shooting at a higher shutter speed (1/30 instead of 1/15). Shot wide open @ f2.
#2 - Was using an ultrawide zoom lens wide open.
#3 - When you live on a farm you always check gloves and boots, for spiders, before putting them on.
#4 - This is why you need a camera that can focus quickly and accurately.
#5 - For myself, the images that count are the family memories. This is probaly shot around 1973/4 , notice the flared slacks my wife is wearintg . Dad hadn't retired yet so before retirement they lived in this caravan (trailer) when visiting the farm. I helped him build the shed. The farmhouse was built in 1976, after dads retirement and the caravan was sold.
Thanks for looking.

Great bunch of photos. We are so lucky to revisit those happy times with our two grandkiddos.
I love candid shots as they are true representations of people - your series is a collection of wonderful memories.
