I second that. Half of the photos I have of my son are of him covering his fact and he was IMO very handsome when he actually let me take his picture. Now that he is gone I wish I had take so many more photos of him growing up from the time he born until the day of his accident.
I have no photos of myself as a child because my mom was really selfish and burnt them all when she was angry at her kids (not just me all of us). What were left that did not get destroyed my stepfather now has and will not give to me because "Im his kid too" and he wants something to remember me by. Only I cant stand him and we have not had a relationship for years and he is the reason my mom and I were not close.
So really take lots and lots of pictures. You can never take to many, Posed pictures, candid photos, bad photos, good photos...doesnt matter everyone will be a memory for those you love when you are no longer around!!

We lost my brother-in-law last February in a tragic accident just 3 days after his 28th birthday. I don't have nearly enough photos of him with us, and NONE of him with my son.
