One for the Album
When you become a parent you want to remember and capture every moment of your children's lives.
We've taken sooooooooo many photographs of our little lad so far, and he's only eighteen months old. I love looking back over them, especially as you forget how small they were when they're first born.
We had gone along to a two year olds birthday party today, our little lad's first party invite, and he loved it! It was held in an indoor play area and the highlight of the party for him was the ball swamp area.
We had taken along our camera hoping to capture some special moments from the party not realising that the taking of photographs and videos was prohibited in the play areas.
We were really disappointed, our lad had a fantastic time squealing with delight when he was playing amongst the balls, and I really wanted to capture these moments, as well as some with the birthday girl, his second cousin.
I realise that these rules are there for a reason, but is it just me or have things gone too far?
Only last week there was the incident at a shopping arena in Glasgow where a father was questioned by police because he had taken a photograph of his four-year old daughter.
That issue has now been resolved and the shopping centre has apologised after an online campaign to boycott the shopping centre. They have now changed their regulations and will now allow photographs to be taken in the centre.
Am I being selfish in wanting to be able to take photographs of my son in the future at momentous events in his life?
