What baby photos do you wish you had taken?

[ss_storm]

Time is flying by...I can't believe it's been a month already! So before she grows up way too quickly I'm trying to get as many piccies as possible...DF calls me a japanese tourist and always picks on how many photos we have of our dog - well we're going to have 5 times as many of our baby girl! Lol

What photos do you wish you had taken of your babies? Any particular scenarios (e.g. asleep/bath time/feed time), angles or anything else you wish had documented while they were still so young?

I'm a hobby photographer and have done some semi-professional stuff myself so I'm never satisfied that I've taken every shot possible in any subject, whether it's my DD or something else entirely.

I wish I'd got some tasteful black & white nude shots. I really wanted photos of my DH holding DD naked against his bare chest, but at the time he was really unhappy about his body shape and was going through depression so wouldn't pose for me, even though I said that in most cases I wouldn't get his face in and that DD would be covering up his belly. Maybe for the next bub.

i take so many photos its not funny!

i take photos while the girls are awake/asleep/happy/sad/eating/in the bath/at the shops/park i take my camera everywhere and im always the only one at family events that takes photos, and am told 'you'll have to get me a copy' lol

I wish I had more photos with me in them with my children! I am ALWAYS the person taking the pics, so looking back there are only a handful of pics that have me in them too compared to the hundreds with DH in them.

i know what you mean Lisa. I'm always the one behind the camera too... Got DF to take a few of me & Hayley last night, but he doesn't really care about the photo, just one shot and there you go. Whereas I take a million shots (well maybe not quite that many) of the one thing..I just keep snapping away but he is happy to take just one photo!

I'm the same!! I LOVE taking photos and I love photography... I too, take my camera out with us almost wherever we go..... I take at least 1 or 2 photos of DD every day. Time just goes too fast, I can't believe she is 6mths already where has time gone???!
They change so fast....

My DH is in more photos with DD than I am too as i'm always the one with the camera taking the photo and have to make sure I ask him to take a pic of me in it too!!!

That's what I wish too, especially with DS1. I just wished ( and still do ) that DP would think to take a photo of me and the boys sometimes without me having to ask. There are quite a few ones of him sleeping with either of our boys when they were little, and I look back and wish there was at least one photo like that with me in it.

I am the same, would LOVE pics of me with DD but DP just doesn't think to pick up the camera at all, i get photos of EVERYTHING, the first foods ones are always pretty funny with pumpkin etc all over their face.

One tip is if people have given them 'SPECIAL' outfits even if your not going to put it on them (ie not practical for the season etc) put it on and take a couple of happy snaps and then pop them in a pocket album for x-mas, everyone LOVES getting pics with something they gave the bub in it with them, then not everyone has the same photo 100 times over.. hehe

Happy snapping, it's so much fun.

Ditto to everyone about photos with me!

One thing I have done & everyone I mention it to loves the idea.... I get a photo at the same time as the birth each year. For Alexzander I set my alarm & get up at 1.27am & have done so on his birthday each year. Juliette is a bit easier because she was born at 12.06pm, but I'm not sure how to continue it once she's at school!
