Obviously the main reason for sharing this photo from a recent baby photo shoot is to show off the totally charming guy but secondary to that, is to show the absolutely perfect toy his mum brought along with them.
Many babies are more confident and likely to remain happy and in one spot if they have something to hold and focus on in their photo shoot. Something familiar in their hands is a comforting thing for them. However the problem with a lot of baby toys is that they are pretty brightly coloured and can be distracting in the finished image in which you want your first focus to be your little one. So you can see how this toy is perfect – it’s both familiar and neutral in colour and style so it’s a great distraction for your baby but not in your finished image.
Still, I think this guy could be holding a rainbow unicorn and still not have the focused pulled from that smile!
