For this weeks The Gallery, Tara has asked us to share photos that we take on our mobile phones.
I have to admit that almost all of the photos I use for The Gallery and my blog have been taken on my mobile. As a matter of fact I expect 95% of the photographs I have of my boys are mobile phone photos! I do own a camera and I enjoy taking photographs with it, but I don’t have it to hand as easily as my mobile and nowadays the quality of images captured on a mobile is much better than it used to be.
I think mobile phones allow us to capture our daily lives – whatever we are doing we can photograph it. I am always snapping Burton and Jenson playing, eating, bathing, out and about etc…and as a result I have a brilliant record of their lives. The quality of each photo may not be as good as with a proper camera but I wouldn’t have my proper camera with me at the supermarket, at the hairdressers, on the bus, or at the park for example. Plus the photos can be uploaded so easily! In a instant you have an image to share with your family and the world – for example, as soon as you give birth you can be sharing a photo of your new baby with people within minutes of it being born!

A mobile phone is ideal for taking photos when you are on the go and leading a busy mummy life. To me its not about the quality of the photo, but the quantity of memories I capture everytime I use my mobile camera 🙂
Here are just a few snapshots taken on my mobile – I have thousands infact!

Thank you xx
Cool collage! 🙂 I have thousands too… 😉
Aww wow! I was out of It when z was born so we didn’t take any till he was about 2 hours old. Love the collage too.
I love you collage. That’s a great way of showing lots of photos. I may have to do something similar!
Me too! Even tho we have a very expensive camera, the iphone apps are so good now and so convenient, it’s silly not to use them. So great to have a picture of the tiny squidgeling so soon after birth. Yum. You’ve made a middle-aged woman very broody again….

I remember my first ever mobile and its amazing how they have come on. Your always have such great photos, you could never tell they came from a phone x
Oh I love the photo of Jenson. Gunky baby photos are my favourite.
I also absolutely love the photo on the far left, 3rd one down. One of my favourite photos you’ve taken.
I wish I’d of included the photo of Harry at 10ish minutes old now 🙁 xx
Yes I was spoilt for choice too as I do most on my phone now just because it’s there. Jenson’s changed so much since that pic.
They are some great pics! And I love the newborn one, we took one of Iyla and within minutes had sent it to all our family, it’s an amazing invention! x
Awwww love all your photos! Its so great that you can text photos as soon as baby arrives, we didnt have mobiles with cameras when I had all my kids. Happy New Year to you too! x
Eeep, new born baby photos are just amazing, they change so much in those first few hours!
My goodness your boys are coming along aren’t they? That can only mean I haven’t been by in a while – sorry about that, gorgeous photos
Oh wow. Just 30 minutes old! Incredible.
Aww aww and aww – that photo of Jenson 30 mins old is just soooooo cute! One to treasure forever! x
I love the one of you two in the ball pool! So cute! And him at 30 mins old is amazing! x
What a lovely collection of photos. I love the bubbles one and the 2 of them together is really sweet!

They are gorgeous. You must have a good camera on your phone as the lighting is fab! x
Am so the same – I’ve thousands too – was hard to choose.
Lovely photos, they capture such important moments!

Have you changed your blog layout? Looks amazing.
yes i have and thank you, for you are the first person to ask/notice 🙂 xx
not only I love the photos, but I absolutely love how you collaged them together, how did you do that? I tried on picnik to do the same but failed. Burton under water, Burton on trampoline…that boy is just a little daredevil with a cheeky grin! Love it!
Oh little sweetheart! And I can believe you have thousands. Just looked at my iPhoto count…12,543 😮
