I want him to have the freedom to be the baby he is and capture that instead :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo/page/2#post-359964 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:45:09 +0000 phdmommy 359964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all for the sweet comments! I'm not an artist by any means, but I do love doing it every month. And baby girl is getting more into the photo shoots now too, which is awesome! I love seeing how her expressions change and her personality comes out a bit more each month.</p> <p>@Dontfrett: I LOVE the big bear! That is an adorable idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo/page/2#post-359932 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:35:57 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 359932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just until N was 1... then she got too mobile to do those monthly pics in the same position! But I take tons of pics of her on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo/page/2#post-359839 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:03:13 +0000 Mrs Checkers 359839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took monthly photos until Aliya turned 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo/page/2#post-359838 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:02:50 +0000 Mrs Checkers 359838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@phdmommy: Your chalk art is crazy good.

At least I haven't taken specific monthly photos...I've probably taken close to 1k photos of him already. </p> <p>Really just commenting to say that I LOVE the pictures of Cobi, especially the one with you and your gorgeous hair! (seriously, I wish I could get my hair to do that!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo#post-359325 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:51:49 +0000 Boogs 359325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did with monthly stickers in a white onesie.

I try really hard to make them look nice :) I invested in a nice camera many years ago, learned how to shoot manually and use photoshop. It helps a lot :) I was thinking of doing a guest post on some quick fixes and easy edits to photos... hmm!!</p> <p>@phdmommy: Agreed!!! these would make amazing buys off etsy! they look so professional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo#post-353542 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:03:54 +0000 loveisstrange 353542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!

Cocobee - your photos are professional quality, love them! And PhdMommy, those chalkboard drawings are fantastic! I'm jealous.</p> <p>We take a weekly photo with a little handmade sign on a quilt made for LO by my mom. My creative/artistic skills are absolute rubbish so they are very rudimentary but at least I can see how she changes each week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-monthly-photos-of-your-lo#post-353205 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 23:44:11 +0000 alayaya 353205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Very nice photos!
