In this articleCameraStorySelectionFriends and relativesCamera Keep a camera handy, and take it with you wherever you go. Always be ready to take a picture whenever your child is up to something crazy or cute. Kids dont wait for the camera before doing something snapworthy! The camera has to be up and ready for them. Make sure you have photographs of the time your baby wore his diaper on his head, dipped his face into chocolate cake and of many of the other incredibly naughty but adorable things babies do.

You can very easily select the best images of the lot, and only have those developed. A few albums filled with incredible photographs will serve as a much better memory than a ton of albums with meaningless photographs.

Make sure you include images of relatives and friends as well and add some snippets on them.
