What a good reminder. I am going to be nursing a new baby in October, and because he’s baby #3, I’m hoping to do better with all types of pictures. Hopefully I’ll be more aware of making sure there are pictures of him nursing.

Nice photos – I also don’t have many, and wish I did. Maybe if there is another baby….

Anybody else have this problem? I have hundreds of photos of my children and lots with Daddy as well, but I am the photographer and nobody seems to dash after the camera to capture a shot of me when I’m doing something particularly cute.

I have been taking a crazy amount of photos of my 2nd nursling because I started my blog and wanted more nursing photos. I have some b eauties of my first but she was already 23 months old then (a photographer friend took them). I don’t have any good ones of her when she was a baby because we had a crappy digital camera back then and I’m not much of a photographer mysef. Anyhow, I cherish the ones I have though. I give the same advice. These times are precious.

I heard this advice about pregnancy photos, too, but I’ve noticed how people hesitate to take my photo if I’m breastfeeding my son. I agree, it’s something I spend A LOT of time doing (8ish hours/day…it’s my full-time job!), so I’m going to take your advice and take more photos!

I am with you! I actually asked for pictures to be taken but *ehem* I only had a few that I took myself. Then are lost on a hard drive that no one can get too right now, included birthing pictures. So not only would I say take pictures, but print/develop them too.

Oh, how I agree with you! As I wrote my post for the Carnival, I realized I had a grand total of 3 pictures of me nursing my first baby and not a ton more from my second time around.

They are really such beautiful images, but it’s hard to know what will be considered inappropriate by Facebook, LiveJournal, Flickr, etc. I’ve always shared our images on-line for family out-of-state, and in the back of my mind I’ve always thought, “Wait, I can’t post THAT on the Internet!” Often that thought led to putting away the camera all together, and I regret it now that my girls are older.

I wish we would have taken more pictures too. I cherish the ones we do have so much!

I have *lots* of photos of nursing my kids. I read a post like yours, either while I was still pregnant with my first or else when she was new, and I knew that I would want those photos. I’ve even had professional shots done, even of tandem nursing with my 4 year old! (The photographer was a former LLL and didn’t find it odd at all!) A lot of people think it’s weird that I have these photos, but I really do treasure them!
