Babymugging by Mommyshorts is the latest and greatest photo trend taking over the Internet. Started by Mommyshorts blogger Ilana Wiles, all it involves is a baby, mug (or any other sort of container) and a camera. Oh, and a bit of perspective trickery. Through the use of forced perspective, parents can exaggerate the tininess of their babies.
In a way, Babymugging by Mommyshorts takes Anne Geddes portraitures to a more approachable level. It allows any mom or dad to flex their creativity and photo skills by turning their cups into a prop and their baby into the next Internet sensation. Move over Bieber.
