Make sure your child's full name and date of birth are included with the photos so they can match them up if they haven't contacted you with an application number.

Re: British passport for child born in USA
Any idea how long it takes to recieve the birth registration certificate and the original documents back from Washington?
I would like to register my son's birth but I have filed the I-130 form this week and am worried about not getting his and my birth certificates back in time for the Interview at the US embassy in London (not that it will be anytime soon).

UPDATED:
I did include my daughters passport pics correctly (just as I had thought) I skyped with my mum and dad and I asked them to show me which pics i accidentally sent for my ACRO application instead of my passport pic and the pic they showed me of my daughter was indeed passport SIZED pics of her that I get from winkflash.
Her British passport arrived by fedex (hubby signed it), original documents I think will follow soon.
But the processing timeframe took around 3 weeks.
So the extra pics i got for her from walgreens I will use for her US passport application.

Do not send the pictures. They might never get to the person they need to... and you'll never know! Wait until they contact you if they want them... at least then they'll be expecting them. It may seem counter-intuitive... but it is the appropriate course of action.

I filed for my daughters registration 2 months after she was born.
I submitted the fee in moneygram money order, my british BC and hubbys US passport, and daughters Texas birth certificate and the application form itself. Everything was returned with her UK birth registration documents in a month or maybe 6 weeks...
