Why My Son Has His Own IG Page

There’s often a debate on how much a child should be exposed on the world wide innanets when he has no say in that exposure. Some parents are very private with their children and you rarely see a pic of them. Some are like, ‘Hey, you want see a picture. I have 19797893423 of them. Here you go!’

Some parents decided their kids should have their own IG. I, for one, agree with this.
Yes, it might sound nuts. Why does a baby/toddler/child need their own IG page? Well, if the parent is known for something, I can see the kids having their own site so if people are interested in seeing photos or keeping up to date with them, they could just go there. A lot of celebrity parents do this and it makes sense, if you think about it.
Of course, I’m not a celebrity. Hell, I’m not even web famous. So why does Bear have his own IG?
Well, for starters, his daddy is a photographer. So Maks often test drives certain camera angles, lenses, etc. on Bear.

In addition to Maks being a photographer, Bear often accompanies him to different photo shoots where other photographers take photos of Bear:

I also tend to do vlogs and hair product reviews on Bear’s hair so it would be nice for him to have a page that’s just dedicated to him. Though, I’m slacking on updating it (it’s really brand new) but I hope I’ll start adding more pictures to it very soon.
Now, of course, there’s the issue of protection and privacy. There’s a reason why I don’t post pictures of Bear in his diapers and underwear. I also carefully monitor who is following me and his page.
Bear has already a small fan club forming from the likes of LAFC, the LA Metro system, and even the mayor, Eric Garcetti, commented that Bear had swag.
