What to post children on Instagram

One of the secrets of the success of the social profiles of influencer moms is certainly to be found in photographing children. The life of the little ones is published at all times (from the bath to the holiday, from the time of bed to that of the meal, from the first day of school to the game) and with the addition of a simple hashtag it can become viral and be accessible in every part of the world. AND' right? AND' legal? The law says that as long as the child is under the parental authority of mom and dad and they both agree then they can put the photos of the children on social media (so be careful, if you are separated: maybe your ex doesn't agree at all post a photo of your child!). But the fact remains that the police often denounce the risks of this continuous sharing of images of minors: photographs that can be saved on anyone's computer who can then make unregulated use of them.

So what should we post about our children? Before uploading a photo we should ask ourselves the question "if I were the subject of the photo, would I put it on social networks?". Children dirty with pizza, children sleeping blissfully in their beds, bathing or angry and crying: try to ask yourself if you are not violating the sacrosanct right to privacy which also protects minors.

What to post on Instagram

Why are moms on Instagram attracting so much? How do they get such a rich following?

Looking at their profiles we can say that what most involves are the images and stories of a happy life, a kind of family of the Mulino Bianco in a modern way:

• photos of beautiful children and fashionable clothes;
• photos of mothers with their original looks or taken at particular times of the day (while relaxing, reading or writing on the PC, playing sports, cooking, playing with children, going on vacation etc ...);
• photos of original dishes prepared by mothers and children;
• home decor: details of houses and apartments that seem to have come out of design magazines.

How to post photos

Here are the steps to follow to post a photo on Instagram:

• if you want to publish the photos of the children, make sure that the surrounding environment is not messy and that the background objects are also harmonized in the context;
• work the photos by choosing the tone (nostalgic, eccentric, maximum saturation) and filters;
• before sharing don't forget to add a short text and some hashtags that will amplify the viral reach of the image.

Hashtags most used by mothers

L'hashtag it is a very important component if you want to give maximum echo to your photo. This is a tag that can be created by easily inserting the hash character # in front of a word or phrase of the text. Within a social network, it acts as a collector of all posts or photos that have been tagged with that hashtag.

Here is a Hashtag list especially used by moms instagrammers:

• #homedecor: for images on the decoration of the bedroom or the house
• #vitadamamma: for photos that tell the small daily challenges of motherhood
• #pregnancy, #partum #breastfeeding: for useful advice, questions, fears and opportunities for discussion
• #family e #baby
• #love
• #cute
• and of course #mom
