When Princess Nagger was born, I had finally graduated to a great point-and-shoot digital camera, and alternated taking pictures using that and my film camera.  Good thing I did take pictures with my film camera, because my computer crashed and has effectively held Princess Nagger’s first year of baby pictures hostage since.  Hopefully I’ll be able to retrieve them at some point.  Now I back up everything and store any important stuff (like PN pictures) on an auxiliary hard drive. 

Luckily not all pictures were completely lost, thanks to keeping extra memory cards on hand so I didn’t have to transfer them to my computer right away:

Thanks to SanDisk, I still had access to some great Nagger images when she was a baby.  They sure grow so fast, don’t they?  I’m glad I took a zillion pictures of her when she was small – it’s fun to compare then and now shots (and have some excellent ones stashed as perfect blackmail pictures for when she starts dating).  I absolutely love newborn baby photos – their innocence and look of wonder on their faces gets me every time.  Not to mention their little fingers and toes. 

A couple of years ago I saved up and finally invested in a Nikon DSLR – I absolutely love it.  SanDisk memory cards have come a long way – now instead of worrying about space on my old 2GB cards, I can take pictures like a maniac with the larger size cards.  Which means I can continue to be camera happy, since I love taking pictures of my kids. 

I’m always looking for great tips (I’m still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles on my DSLR), so I really enjoyed Erin Manning’s video on how to capture great baby photos.  Check it out here:


Photographer, author and educator Erin Manning provides her Top 3 Tips for capturing better baby photos. Erin gives you advice on setting the scene and getting close to the baby for those perfect images, as well as using a  SanDisk Ultra SDHC card to make sure she never misses a shot.

Do you love taking pictures?
