Wherein I Introduce my Baby to Herself and She Likes Herself a Lot
Hello in there!
Babies like to see other babies.
What better what to show a baby another baby than by showing that baby him/herself in a mirror? (hint: there is no better way.)
That is unless you put the baby ON THE MIRROR.
After seeing how happy Vivi was just to look at herself (babies are such vain little creatures) I realized I have a really big sturdy mirror above my fireplace that would be perfect for a little photo session. I bought the mirror for $15 at a hotel liquidation sale and while I loved it before, I love it even more now.
Tips for taking photos of your baby in a mirror? Bright room with light walls so the light reflects from all angles (the whole room will be visible too so tidy up if you feel like it.) Be sure the mirror is sturdy so it doesn’t tip and smash your baby or that it can’t be cracked if you place your baby on top of it (this mirror had a solid backing behind the glass that didn’t allow for any bowing or bending.)
