"In Pictures" is a song written by Joe Doyle and Bobby Boyd, and recorded by Linda Davis for her 1994 studio album Shoot for the Moon.

Content

The song tells the story of a divorced father which the song implies that the mother has full custody of his daughter (and apparently has very little, if any, visitation rights) and thus is forced to watch his daughter grow up via photographs.
