What We Found

 

Although all of ther pictures look different, we did find several trends / themes that seem to be consistent among the pictures.

 

  • Focus – All the pictures focus on the babies face in fact only 2 pictures include the entire body.
  • Location and Background  Most of the pictures have simple – non discript backgrounds.
  • Outfit and Apparell:  Outfits vary so as long as they don’t take away from the focus on your baby, it’s Ok.  The simpler the better.
  • Emotions:  Every single baby is happy and either smiling or grinning.  Remember Gerber sells baby food they want the Gerber Baby Contest Winners to present a happy and healthy image.
  • Eyes:  – This is a critical – Every baby is looking directly into the camera.
  • Mouth: – Are they smiling, grinning, frowning? ,
  • Pose:  Is the pose natural or staged?
  • Picture Quality:  Most of the pictures are clear and focused, but none of them have what we would consider exceptional quality.
