Capturing the right moment : Featured Post
Posted on
I was reading about a survey of 2000 mums today, that has been carried out by Venture photography studios, which found that many mums in the UK admit to overlooking their second-born children when it comes to taking photographs, with almost two thirds of them admitting they forget to take images of their new addition on its own – instead plumping for ones including their elder siblings. This research totally resonated with me as I was very conscious of giving my second daughter the same time and attention as I gave my first, which is no mean feat when you have the older sister to take into consideration too.
91 per cent of mums questioned said they obsessively recorded every moment of babyhood for their first-born but amazingly a whopping 70 per cent of mums admitted that they have fewer than 10 photographs of their second born child on its own, with photos almost always including the older sibling.
61 per cent have none of the keepsakes for their second baby that they kept for their first child, such as hand and footprints, first locks of hair and first paintings. ‘Detail’ photographs of tiny feet and curled up fingers were also lacking when it came to the second child – with 75 per cent of mums admitting that they have fewer of these for their second baby than their first.
It really made me sit and think about why this happens and it occured to me that whilst a lot of the time it is about just that, time. When you have two children, there are occasions that you simply don't have the time, energy or inclination to get the camera out, when you are juggling the demands of two or more children. This is where sites like MyFamilyClub come in to help busy parents. They currently have a fantastic offer with 10,000 FREE MyFamilyPack's to giveaway which includes all sorts of things such as discounts, freebies and best deals to make mums lives easier(go register now, quickly).
Capturing the best deals is part of the the Lilypad philosophy.
Capturing those special moments ..... well that is up to you.
