Unable to take a photo and have it persist in core data

Question

Can someone please help with an UIImagePickerController function and a way to save? I have been able to take a photo and even have it show up in my UIImageView, but have yet to be able to keep it there, where as the text I'm working with has been saved.

import UIKit
import CoreData

class ViewController: UIViewController, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {

    var newKid: Kid? = nil
    var pickerController = UIImagePickerController()

    // MARK: - IBOutlet

    @IBOutlet weak var nameText: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var ageText: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        if newKid != nil {
            nameText.text = newKid?.name
            ageText.text = newKid?.age
         // imageView.image = newKid?.image
        } 
    }

    // MARK: - IBAction

    @IBAction func cancelTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
        dismissVC()
    }

    @IBAction func saveTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
        if newKid != nil {
            editEntry()
        } else {
            newEntry()
        }
        dismissVC()
    }

    @IBAction func takePhoto(sender: AnyObject) {
        pickerController.delegate = self
        pickerController.sourceType = .Camera
        self.presentViewController(pickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    // MARK: - Helper Functions

    func newEntry() {

        var context = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext

        let entity = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Kid", inManagedObjectContext: context!)

        let newKid = Kid(entity: entity!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: context)

        newKid.name = nameText.text
        newKid.age = ageText.text
     // newKid.image = imageView.image
     // context?.save(nil)
        saveEntry()
        println(newKid)
        println("Object saved.")
        dismissVC()
    }

    func editEntry() {
        newKid?.name = nameText.text
        newKid?.age = ageText.text
        newKid?.image = imageView.image
    }

    func saveEntry() {
        var context = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext
        context?.save(nil)
    }

    func dismissVC() {
        navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
    }

    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
        let mediaType = info[UIImagePickerControllerMediaType] as! String
        self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
        let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
        imageView.image = image
    }

    @IBAction func useCamera(sender: AnyObject) {
        if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(
            UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera) {

                let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()

                imagePicker.delegate = self
                imagePicker.sourceType = .Camera
                imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

                self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true,
                    completion: nil)
        }
    }
}
