When photographer Alessandro Della Bella�s son Claudio was born in December 2014, he shared the happy news of the new family member by shooting a picture of Claudio sleeping in the main compartment of his camera bag.
Photojournalist Tom Pennington shared a similar photograph several years ago. It�s a shot that has been shared in photography forums over the years:
When photographer Drake Busch photographed his baby Grayson, he not only placed Grayson in a camera bag�
�but he gave Grayson a photographer press access pass as well!
If you�re a photographer, a new parent, and the owner of a large camera bag, give this cute portrait idea a shot, and be sure to share your results with us! (We�ll add new submissions in updates to this post).
Update: Alessandro Della Bella just sent us this new photo of Claudio in his camera bag, captured 8 months after the original photo above:

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
