Welcoming a new baby into the world is a joyous moment for families. What better way to capture those first few precious days, months, and years than with a photo shoot? And what better place to find ideas than Pinterest?

Pinterest is a crafter’s haven and DIYer’s happy place. It’s filled with so many inspiring ideas for art projects, home decor, hairstyle ideas, the list goes on. Another category that people turn to for ideas is baby photo shoots.

Now, anyone who has ever used Pinterest to execute a project or an idea knows that things don’t always end up looking like they did on the website. These moments are called “Pinterest fails.” They happen to the best of us.

These families tried their best to capture their baby’s innocence and sweetness in a beautiful photoshoot — they keyword here is “tried.”

These parents deserve an award for their effort.

1. Oh, the irony.

2. Not quite that “sweet baby” look they were going for.

3. Get that poor thing out of there!

4. Hmm…it just doesn’t look quite the same.

5. They almost nailed it. Then disaster struck.

6. I can’t imagine how they were able to get any baby to be happy stuffed through a pumpkin.

7. This baby now has a phobia of rubber bouncy balls.

8. Her first birthday. She won’t remember it, but her parents sure will.

9. This baby looks caught mid-sneeze.

10. So close. But not at all.

11. Baby is not feeling this one at all.

12. Just a little spit up to ruin the shot.

13. By the look on that little baby’s face, I’d say they’re not enjoying this.

14. That baby looks like it’s about to be attacked by Godzilla.

15. This wasn’t the best moment to choose for this photo.

16. Baby on the left looks cute. Baby on the right looks evil.

17. I guess I see what they were going for?

18. This baby doesn’t seem to be the “intellectual type.”

19. I’m almost more concerned about the baby with eletric lights in its mouth.

20. This seems like an impossible feat.

21. What a cute baby bunny…oh, wait.

22. Is it just me or does the baby on the right look like an adorable middle-aged man?

23. This newborn will forever have nightmares of drowning in plastic Easter eggs.

24. The most awkward photo of this person’s life.

25. They forgot the pillow underneath the baby’s head. It resulted in a full-on face-plant.

26. So many shiny, distracting things!

27. Totally bored and over it.

28. To be honest, it doesn’t look very comfortable.

29. “What the heck am I doing in a basket?”

30. Expectation versus reality.
