Who doesn’t adore infants? There aren’t many. Babies are wonderful, and one thing most parents like doing with their tiny bundles of joy is capturing perfect photographic memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’ve never considered it, hiring a professional to preserve your particular moments is thought to be a worthwhile investment. A professional photographer generally has a suitcase full of tactics for making the lighting, atmosphere, and scene appear like they’re straight out of a magazine, and every parent adores a stunning portrait of their lovely kid!
Unfortunately, newborns march to their own drummer and are not always completely on board with the grandiose ambitions of their parents and photographers. There are so many things that may go wrong with spit-up, urine, and especially the impoverished. And, as these amusing photographs demonstrate, if something can go wrong, it will!
If you’re a parent, this is the kind of laughing you need to get through the day, to remind you that your children aren’t the only ones who are gross and that you’re not alone. If you aren’t a parent, these photographs may be considered birth control.
#1 Launch Missiles Now!
They’re on their way up. For example, the bathroom for a shower.

#2 Finally, he stopped pooping.
His compromise, however, was not much better.

#3 Smiling at the camera!
Can we all just admire how happy the baby appears to be WHILE he’s pooping? Priceless.

#4 Take everything with stride!
That infant appears to be delighted with himself, and we adore it.

#5 There are two sorts of priceless.
Both have limitless worth.

#6 Calm down.
He couldn’t stop himself.

#7 Surprise!
The route of parenting takes you from calm to astonishment to acceptance.

#8 She wasn’t ready.
Her expression tells it all.

#9 “The Golden Outtake.”
Amazing expressions on all three faces.

#10 Optimism.
They’ve clearly made the most of a bad circumstance.

#11 In a Nutshell: Parenting
This photograph is excellent in every way. Dad is laughing heartily (because dads are relaxed like that,) Mom is *catching* the excrement (as mommies do), and the dog is plainly yelling “You have to be kidding me. I didn’t agree to this.”

#12 It’s still essentially art.
We can’t see Dad’s face, but we KNOW he’s laughing hysterically.

#13 Take it, Dad!
Become accustomed to it.

#14 The client is uncooperative!

#15 Whoops!
Can you see that Mom hadn’t figured it out yet when this photo was taken?

#16 The baby had ideas.
His intentions included, of course, adding spit up to the shot for texture. I’m certain.

#17 Bushy-tailed and bright-eyed
He’s evidently pleased with himself.

#18 That is an INCREDIBLE amount of feces.
Maybe wearing a diaper to the beach wasn’t such a horrible idea after all…
