jennlx Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sick of it!!!! I have a newborn and have spent all week trying to get a photo which is good enough for Australian passport- eyes open and facing the camera with mouth closed. Have these people ever had a newborn?????? Good grief!! :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NatsB Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Would you believe it's easier to get a newborn to do it than a two year old who hates cameras? :biglaugh: We are trying a different photographer this weekend as we're too embarrassed to go back to the first one.

Have these people ever had a newborn?????? Good grief!! :arghh: They are sligtly more flexible with newborns, we managed to get an Aussie passport for our six week year old (back at the beginning of 2011) - she was not looking at the camera and her mouth was not closed - but it was accepted. We took loads of shots but this was the best we could do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellybr Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 both my boys got their NZ passports as new borns, the 1st fella was a nightmare we tried to do it ourselves and they sent it back. Brought him to a camera place and they lay him on a sheat on the floor and waved a toy and got him first time. Brought the other fella there and they got him first time aswell. The funniest was the form I had left the eye colour and height blank cause ya know they change daily at that age!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest was the form I had left the eye colour and height blank cause ya know they change daily at that age!!!! That was the key the chemist told us. Put them on a sheet laying down, got our little girl by taking about 6 shots on sports mode when she was about a month old. Eyes wide open, looking at the camera with mouth closed. Just sent it to the chemist and they altered it to the correct size. Was accepted for bothe the Aus and UK passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
