Commercial vs. Portraiture

I find myself almost giddy with the possibilities of fields of photography to explore. At this point, most interesting to me are child & family portraiture and commercial food photography. I love a beautiful, well done portrait of a child- one that really captures their personality. I also love well done food photography- those image that make you want to cook a certain recipe right now because that image with the recipe can make you almost taste it. I've ordered a food photography book to start looking into it. Who knows, maybe that'll be the direction I go for a while when we move and my in-house portrait subjects are really, really over having their picture taken. Or maybe I'll go there first. We'll see!
