""The business is changing, and I just started Instagramming them. It went from tons of people trying to get this photo to, I put it on there, and I'm not gonna get chased around as much," she said. "What I learned from somebody who is much more famous than me, is that the more you put the photos up, the lower the bounty is and the less harassment you get.""
""You know, twelve years ago was not a long time; it was very different back then," she said, presumably referring to when her oldest child, Carmen, was born in 2013. "I sold the first photos of the first few kids... And I donated all the money to charity, because it felt like a gross thing anyway.""
Hilaria Baldwin posts photos showing her children's faces on Instagram as a strategy to reduce paparazzi pursuit and public harassment. Posting images publicly lowers the perceived "bounty" and diminishes demand from photographers, according to her assessment. Early in parenthood she sold first photos of her children to tabloids and donated all proceeds to charity. She frames the decision as pragmatic and meaningful, noting that strict secrecy had previously increased external demand. She acknowledges there is no single correct approach to protecting children's privacy and that strategies may change with evolving media dynamics.
