Why Babies Ruin Photos

January 4th, 2011
Well it is official... I might as well burn my film and trash my bodies and shatter my glass... my new son has ruined photography for me...

Drug dealers have a saying (well according to the movies I watch) 'Never use your own product'

As a photog I am ruined, all the photos I take now are of my beautiful muse. Who will buy these... sigh... hope grandma has deep pockets I was hoping to sell enough prints this winter to buy the Fuji X100 this spring.

Well I am off now... Eli is snuggle so adorably in my arms as I type this I want to set up a tri-pod and take some selfies... RUINED I TELL YOU RUINED!!!!

A new son?? hey congratulations! You know most 365 ers are suckers for a baby picture so you may be poor but think of the pop pages you'll be on!!

I thought this was going to be a thread about how babies are so difficult to photograph! They are such good subject when the conditions are right. Congratulations man. We had a new addition to the family recently (not mine, my uncle's):

January 4th, 2011
YAY!!!!! Congratulations. *repeat this after me* MUST POST BABY PICTURES......
January 4th, 2011
LOL! Not ruined at all- just changed :D The other stuff will come back to you! But seriously- can we charge the grandparents for prints- if so my parents are into me for TONS of money LOL!!

Ha!!! This made me laugh. I brought my first DSLR camera 6 days ago, and why? Because i'm expecting my first child in 6 weeks!

Congrats on your new addition. Given how obsessed we can become with our children (both before birth AND after) I think it's perfectly normal that this is where your attention is.... Pls share your new little man with us?

haha I know exactly what you mean, I think I must have over 1000 photos of my baby, and he's only 12 weeks old!

Congratulations, he is just gorgeous.

Absolutely! My daughter is 9 months and I struggle to photograph anything else other than my paid work. Which is why i'm taking on this project eventhough 2 out of 3 so far included her!

January 4th, 2011
Gorgeous!! Congratulations!! it never goes away - I love to photograph my kids!!
January 4th, 2011
ha! hate to break it to you, but it isn't just because they're babies--mine are 14 and 11, and still my #1 favorite subjects!! (:
January 4th, 2011
Hahaha. Congratulations!
January 4th, 2011
Congrats!

I think its a photog kids thing cuz taking pictures of my own kids makes me wanna run away screaming saying NEVER AGAIN! but working with a clients kids, not so bad.

I for the record LOVE shooting babies....

and even with 7 kids once in a while I get a surprise and get a good shot or 2 of them all together...

case in point.... fall pictures, and our christmas card.... (I sometimes love the outtake the best though!)

Congratulations! Enjoy every day, they grow so fast. I often wonder why my grands are so much cuter than my sons. Finally decided, it is better cameras.
