When You Cut The Flowers Off Should You Cut The Entire Stem? Will That Help More Flowers To Propagate?

I have one outdoor chamomile plant and it gets all the morning sun and some afternoon. The flowers are not that big but I have been cutting them off about half way down the stem. Is this the right way to take the flowers off and will more flowers come as a result of pruning all the flowers. Also do I have to wait until the flower opens or can I cut flowers that are young?
