I’m a bit addicted to taking photos of my baby in the bath.
It’s not just me either, so I don’t feel too weird. A lot of mumtographers love a good bath shot. I think there are a couple of reasons.
Firstly, bath time is one of those sweet suspended moments that you know in your heart is so fleeting. In ten years time, you think to yourself (maybe subconsciously), I won’t be sitting here watching her play with her rubber duckie and laugh about bubbles. I won’t be needed or wanted here in this moment then. There is a total innocence about bath time with a toddler – a joy and fun quiet freshness. They still need you there beside them.
I think it is maybe also because, sitting there all wet and nakies, it reminds you a little bit of when they flooped on out of you, all squelchy and brand new. Sorry, was that a bit graphic? Well, it’s true. They’re still your baby, sweet and innocent.
I think I will cherish these images long after she grows out of sharing her bath time with me. These little treasured moments.
Images captured on film. Almost all on Kodak Ultramax 400 on my Canon AE-1 P, except for the last three which are on Lomography 400 on my Canon Elan IIe.
