Been there, done that...
You know you're a photographer when...
-your significant other gets tired of you noticing aberrations when watching a documentary or movie
-planning a family outing/trip always includes prior negotiation about allotted photo time
-"come see the stars" is a synonym to "come photograph the stars"
-you actually make money with your pictures
-you're the de facto photographer for any and all family events
-people say "I didn't bring my camera, since you're here"
-you don't know where your kids are if they're not in your FOV
