This little guy is my God-son Johan, I took this photo on a recent trip to Switzerland where I met him for the first time..  His mommy and I did a pregnancy portrait session before he was born.  Since then, we have been skyping weekly so I can see him grow.  I started taking screen-shots of him during our video talks.  This way, I had a photo to look at during the week when I missed him…  What is it about photos of baby’s that makes you just keep looking at them?

After 6 weeks, I put all my screen shots together in a small photo-strip format simliar to what you get from a photo booth.  I’m calling it baby-booth!  I put some old film effects on the photo and ended up with a nice addition to his baby book showing how he changed over the first two months of his life…

  • Hi Megan

    What a really cool idea – I don’t know anyone else who is doing anything like that. It’s perfect for people whose families are separated by distance, and makes a wonderful memento.

    I really love the “baby booth” idea!

      Thanks Nigel,

      I always loved photo-booths.  I think this format is a great way print spontaneous photos and then keep them on a mirror/ at your desk.
