Toddlers do not hold a pose, which is why the best photos of them are usually blurry. These prompts give you the moment in focus from one photo: splashing in puddles in a yellow raincoat, reading on a parent's lap, picking strawberries, a first trip to the beach. Every scene is safe and wholesome, and your child's face stays recognizable.
Using the photo of my toddler as the face reference, show them jumping into a puddle in a yellow raincoat and red rubber boots, water splashing up, a leafy street after the rain, soft grey light, a huge delighted laugh, their face kept true to my photo.

My toddler never sits still. Which photo should I use?
Any clear photo where their face is sharp and well lit is enough, even one taken mid-play. The prompt builds the scene, so you do not need a posed shot; just avoid photos with motion blur or a face turned away.
How do I keep my toddler looking their age?
Mention the age in the prompt, such as 'my two-year-old', and use a recent photo. Describing clothes made for small children, like overalls or a sun suit, also helps the model keep the proportions right.
Can I be in the picture with my toddler?
Yes. Add a photo of yourself, or one of you together, and describe what you are doing, such as reading on your lap or pushing the swing. Keeping only your hands or shoulder in frame puts the focus on your child.
