The birth of a child is nothing short of a miracle. Newborn babies are amazing — they’re tiny, they’re adorable, and they have that wonderful baby smell. But let’s face it — they can be a bit of a handful.
Newborn babies are precious, but they’re also filled with poo, spit-up, and all sorts of other fun things. It’s hard to predict when any of these things might happen. Like in the middle of a photo shoot, for example.
Here are 30 times when a newborn ruined a photography session with an *ahem* accident.
