Celebrity Baby Photos And Maintaining Privacy Of The Newborn

Celebrity baby photos are bringing in big dollars. The Hollywood baby boom has the paparazzi scrambling for cute baby photos of celebrity tots like never before. However, should their famous parents be using the images for profit? In this article, we'll look at this phenomena and the business behind the pictures.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are constantly under the glare of the cameras, so they've used the public's interest in their family to benefit children's charities. Newborn baby photos of their newborn twins carried a whopping $14 million price tag, while pictures of their older biological daughter and adopted son went for $4.1 million and $2 million respectively.

When questioned about the ethics of putting a monetary value on pictures of their kids, the couple insisted that selling their celebrity baby photos was the right thing to do so that they could help other children in need.

Whether you're for or against celebrity baby photos, there's no arguing that they are big business. However, is it ethical to offer pictures of your baby to the highest bidder? Some say it's a noble thing if the money is donated to charity. Others believe it's an evil that doesn't justify the means. Even celebrities are split on the issue.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman recently turned down a deal for millions of dollars for pictures of their newborn daughter. As in any family, the decision ultimately comes down to the parents.
