At first I was turned off the but photos seemed to be in good taste. What always creeped me out were those photos years ago where they would photograph the dead child with his eyes open as though he were alive. This is an example.

You can usually tell in Victorian daguerreotypes and early photographs when a baby or small child is dead; the exposure times were so long to take a photograph that small children couldn't hold still long enough. If they are living, they are usually slightly blurry from movement.
