Can I use this picture for an announcement? (Pic removed - thanks for voting!)

[vegasgrl]

Updated to remove the link to the pic - thanks for all your votes! I ordered the announcements yesterday!

My announcements are ready to be printed and they're ADORABLE...they say "introduces her little angel." But my boss was appalled that I would even consider sending out a picture of my baby naked. Is it really that bad? I didn't even think of it as bad at all, it's such an adorable picture!

To change the announcements now would be $20 per proof, which isn't the end of the world if it seems this picture would offend people. But before I printed them I thought I'd get your opinion.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I've seen a number birth announcements with that kind of pic and never thought anything about it.

[moonglowmama]

That's a great photo! Not like she's spread eagle or something. Some people are weird. Babies are not sexual.

[Astraia]

Naked babies are adorable- this one especially so

This isn't the kind of picture she'd be embarrassed of as an adult, there is no nudity or frontal exposure or any kind. I wouldn't worry about it at all, I think it'll be a perfect announcement photo!

[JorgieGirl]

Geez, yeah, that pic is adorable!! One day she'll probably wear low rider jeans that show more crack than that.

[KristyDi]

Of course you can!

Utterly adorable pic!

[MyBoysBlue]

Wonderful photo. My announcement had DS naked too. I think yours is perfectly acceptable.

[April Dawn]

That is adorable. There is nothing wrong with a birth announcement with a naked baby bottom showing; I've seen several announcements like that! And it's a great picture!

[Kirsten]

I think it is fine. Is your boss a conservative 60 year old man?

[thefreckledmama]

That photo is absolutely precious, and I see no reason not to send it.

It's no more "nudity" than all the baby photo posters, cards, signs, calendars, etc., by Anne Geddes-and that stuff is everywhere.

[Baby_Cakes]

Of course!!! That picture is adorable! Congratulations on your new baby!

[echospiritwarrior]

I think it's precious!

[MegBoz]

Aww! Here's yet another vote saying it's adorable! Honestly, when I saw the title of the thread, I was expecting the photo to include YOU, topless. I was really surprised when I saw the photo & genuinely confused as to what the problem with that beautiful pic could possibly be!

Congrats!!!

[MsBlack]

Yeah Meg, I thought it might be a birthing pic or something!

But your boss has it all wrong--that picture you chose is gorgeous and perfectly wonderful for an announcement

He's 59.

Okay YAY! As of right now it's 30 to 1. I really didn't want to have to re-design the announcements; they look so darned good.

And thanks for checking out my girl, who I of course think is the cutest girl who ever lived.

[Annoia]

Awwww! What a cute baby!!

I thought maybe you were talking about full-frontal nudity (which I have no issues with, know how others can be). But an itty-bitty bit o' baby buns? TOO CUTE!!

[noobmom]

Very cute pic! I wouldn't have a problem at all with the "nudity" if you can even call it that in a baby.

However, I do have to say that the angel wings threw me for a second. I'm trying to figure out a way to say this delicately. I guess I would just consider what most people mean when they speak about their angel babies.

This really made me laugh! :


Vegasgrl, the picture is GORGEOUS! She is simply breathtaking. Absolutely use it.

[ledzepplon]

Precious! Absolutely I would use it. There's nothing cuter than a tiny baby tushie.

[icy02]

That is seriously the most adorable baby picture I have seen in a LONG time!! So freaking cute!! You should use it too bad for your boss its not her baby!
