Let’s face it – nobody looks back on their childhood and wishes they had LESS photos of themselves growing up. Quite the opposite.
Take it from me, the second-born, who occupies only 10 per cent of the family albums while my first-born older brother has a bajillion photos capturing his every milestone. (I’m not bitter, I swear!)
To all the mamas out there who aren’t ashamed to whip out their phones or cameras the second their kid does something remotely cute, here are the dos and don’ts of photographing them to ensure your photos cut through the baby spam noise.

On the contrary, I think there are likely to be an increasing number of adults in the future that wish there were less photos of themselves as kids, especially online photos. When our generation was younger, you only had film cameras that were expensive to develop, so photos were limited to special occasions. Now, anyone can take photos any time, without the need to worry about using up a film. As a result, you get a huge number of pictures, including photos of stuff most kids would be embarrassed about as adults.
I think a better tip would be to consider if you'd want your parents whipping out naked baby photos, or photos of you with food everywhere and the like. If you're fine with that, then take the photo.
I agree. Especially the graphic birth photos that some women feel the need to share.
