There is nothing sweeter than seeing ourselves through the eyes of those we love. For one mom, that opportunity came in the form of a maternity shoot, directed by her adorable and very talented toddler.
Mom and parenting influencer Skye Hitchcock gained viral attention last year when she shared a video of her young photographer on TikTok featuring her son’s artistic eye. The original video has received over 3 million likes.
In the video, 5-year-old Bridger can be heard standing in front of a field of brightly colored flowers and offering posing suggestions to his mother.
“Rub the baby and cheese,” Bridger said before confirming, “Looks good.”
Bridger also had plenty of praise for his mom-to-be.
“You look so good… you look beautiful,” he said.
“Thank you, baby! Why are you so sweet?” Skye said with a smile.
“Because!” Bridger responded in classic toddler fashion.
Commenters raved about the adorable interaction.
“Oh my gosh, sit down?! Smell the flowers? Look at the baby? You’re so beautiful? I love him!!” Ashley said.
“No, my pregnancy hormones make me cry on the spot when he says ‘you look so beautiful’,” mamatay_X2 said.
Many reviewers pointed out how well Bridger directed and that he may have a future in photography.
“Please buy him a camera. Encourage him. He does have talent!!” Rachel ♀ said.
To the excitement of many, Skye revealed in a follow-up video that she would be giving Bridger a digital camera for his birthday. She also said that Bridger’s talent had been budding for some time.
“His love of photography is not new, he’s had it for as long as I can remember,” she said.
We love supporting our moms! Commenters were also happy to see Skye encouraging her children’s hobbies and left many words of encouragement.
“My mom bought a digital camera when I was five, and photography is still a big part of my life. He would love it 💓” TikTok user tiana shared in the comments.
Wonder how Bridger’s skills have improved since then? Thankfully, we don’t have to look too far — Skye just posted a year-later follow-up this month, which includes Bridger’s recent photoshoot of her and his nearly one-year-old sister, Valley.
Bridger can be heard playing “peakaboo” and his little sister smiles.
“Now give Valley a kiss,” he said to his mother. “You are so beautiful.”
Cute big brother and photographer rolled into one? We think Valley will probably be around forever.
