instagramming: 101.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, 
you’ve probably heard of Instagram by now.

If you’re new to it thought, here’s something you must know:
There are certain Instagram photos that are practically obligatory – all the cool kids are doing it.

Here are 7 must-have Instagram shots:

Photo of your breakfast:

Photo of your pet (if you don’t have one, then a photo of someone else’s pet):

Photo of flowers:

Photo of your latte.

Photo of your baby:

*Bonus points if you can get more than one baby into the photo:

Photo of your feet:

That about sums it up.
Happy Instagramming!

  1. LOL Totally. The only only one I don’t have is one of pet… but I have more than enough of my baby to compensate 🙂

  2. Hahaha!
    Agree. You’re not Instagrammin’ unless you’ve posted photos of these seven things. 🙂

  3. Awesome shoots!The baby is sooooo cute!!!Kids are so lovely!I love dogs but I haven’t have one.

  4. I laughed really hard, ALL these are in my news feed!!! LOL! Good call 😀

  5. You forgot the photo of what you’re wearing! It seems a must to take pictures of your outfit while instagramming. 🙂

  6. Ha, this is so true!

  7. Hahaha! You’re hilarious!
    Thanks for the tips though 🙂

    Hugs

  8. so true! haha I have all of those… except kids. No kids. lol

  9. Haha! Not gonna lie.. I have definitely gotten all of these shots on Instagram.. Except for the babies of course since I don’t have any of my own yet. Fern’s scarf is so cute!

  10. Hahahaha this is awesome 🙂

  11. I don’t think I’ve done the feet one yet 😉

  12. Fern is looking like she put on some healthy weight, I know you were concerned about her getting enough milk & growing. She looks great!

  13. Haha, love it.

  14. Fern is so stinking cute, it’s ridiculous. You and Craig made one gorgeous baby.

    I just joined Instagram recently but for my travel blog. I only post photos of beaches or anything beach-related. I guess I can still post a photo of my breakfast at the resorts, my feet in the sand, and flowers around the resort. <-- you just gave me some ideas for my instagram.

  15. hehehe!

  16. You rock. And obviously your double baby picture absolutely kills me.

  17. that shot of those two babies is TOO cute 🙂 I bet you they will be great friends!

  18. I am torn between the dog and the food .. both make me smile.

  19. I’m probably your newest subscriber. This post is hilarious and totally true! I love your blog and I’m so glad I stumbled across it. I mentioned you in my most recent blog post! I hope you don’t mind!

  20. love this because it’s so true!!!! =) the laws of instagram!

  21. Brilliant! Im pretty sure i have captured all of those 7 🙂 xx

  22. Hahaha, love it!

    I’d like to add:

    – sunset or clouds. Extra points for making it REALLY arty and attaching a comment about “appreciating life more”

    – awkward self-portraits with “serious face” — that inadvertent expression that’s somewhere between I-don’t-want-to-smile-at-the-camera and trying-to-be-thoughtful

    :] PS – I definitely have taken all 7 of those photos! I was just commenting the other day about how ALL my photos are of my dog, or of food. Hilarious.

  23. Hahah, it’s oh so true! It’s like everyone expects to see that and there is disappointment if it’s not there!
