Do you scrap same number of pages for each child?

I have HUNDREDS more pages of Karen because she poses more and sends me a gazillion awesome pics. The rest of my kids, not so much. If I get a pic, I am lucky if they haven't made a face.
 
I have mostly photos of my youngest daughter and oldest granddaughter. I see them the most and they don’t mind getting their photo taken. The rest not so much.
 
Unfortunately not. My daughter is in way more activities and does way more and approves more photos for me to post.
my son being autistic is very particular about photos being taken, and not liking most of them and approves of me posting even fewer.
 
Interesting question! I'm not sure who I have more pictures of. Paper scrapping, I have the most pages of my oldest. I finally got a digital camera when Eren was a month old, so I have more digital pictures/pages of them.
 
When I first started traditional scrapbooking, my niece and nephew were often the focus of my pages. But that was back when I was just starting out and had to budget how much film I could get developed and how much paper and adhesives I could buy. With the addition of other nieces and nephews, technology changed and I went digital and now I have soooo many more photos of the younger family members. So no, I clearly do not make the same number of pages per kiddo in our family.

However, when each of the kids in our family graduates high school, I select my favorite 100 layouts that I have created about them, upload them to Shutterfly, and present them with their own scrapbook of their childhood as a present. The older kids were happy with what I created, and now the younger kids know that they'll get one when they graduate. So I'll hear things like "Hey, take this photo. It would be good for my scrapbook!" Ha!
 
No, I scrap whatever occasions come up or what looks fun to scrap. I still scrap for my adult kids, although I couldn't tell you the last time any of them looked at their books - and I often wonder if they are ever going to take them. They have shown zero interest in them, which is kind of heartbreaking. I don't do many pages for them anymore because, unfortunately, I rarely see them, unless they want / need something. So I end up doing a lot more pages for my teenage boys. But all in all, I have dozens of books for each of my 6 kids (plus family albums).
 
Our boys are grown and I wasn't digi scrapping back then but have lots of paper layout of both of them. Now my layout are mostly of our Grands and I don't even keep track of how many there are of one or the other or both. My philosophy is that I take photos and I scrap them. I love this hobby so much so scrap what inspires me or pushes me for a challenge.
 
I try to make it even for even for each kid but I tend to use more of my oldest because I have more to scrap :)
 
I try to scrap both kids evenly but that doesn't work. My daughter takes lots of selfies and photos and sends them to me. My son, on the other hand, is more introverted and doesn't "jump" to get his picture taken.
 
I only have one daughter and with the four grand children I do not take notice of how many pages I create.
