Abstract	Images of children and family life are prevalent across social media contexts. In particular, "Instagram" is a popular platform for sharing photographs and videos of children and families. This paper explores the representation of children and family life, with an emphasis on the 'image of the child' that exists on Instagram. A qualitative case study methodology was used to analyse a parent's Instagram posts for one month and her questionnaire responses. The deep meaning that Instagram holds in her life will be explored, the processes she engages in to take and share photos, and key issues and ideas for educators, researchers, and family members to consider. Focus will be drawn towards the 'image of the child' as understood by early childhood educators, and how the image of children presented in this parent's Instagram posts compares or contrasts to that.
