shutterbugs
Avid picture takers
Shutterbugs are photography enthusiasts—amateur photographers who take pictures eagerly and often.
The term combines shutter (the camera mechanism that opens to expose film or a sensor) with bug (slang for enthusiast).
It's affectionate and slightly teasing: The shutterbugs gathered at sunrise to catch the perfect light.
