Here is how we handle this.
Find a picture of a kid who looks like it could have been your child at a younger age. Use it.
No, it does not replace the missing pictures, but it helps. It doesn't have to be a secret. It's just something matter-of-fact, "I don't have a picture of you, but this is what a beautiful baby I imagine you were." It's not the best, but it is better than nothing.
Also, the fp may just be people who don't take pictures. I have a friend who has absolutely no pictures of his kids even though he dotes on them. He just doesn't take pictures.
Lifebooks are required, but there are only guidelines about what goes in, not laws that govern it.
It's sad, but it doesn't have to be the end of the world. And since pictures mean a great deal to you, take a ton. Your little one will love to see them.
Good luck.
