Instead, they decided to hole up inside and find a creative activity to kill the time. Inspiration struck when playing with their daughter, Olivia. Karen Abad ended up photographing the [little one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newborn-photography1) as her [favorite television show characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-ninenine). From Hannah Horvath of 'Girls' to Rust Cohle of 'True Detective' and Walter White of 'Breaking Bad,' Karen Abad, with the help of the parents, created [adorable sets and costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-cutie-reveal-care-bears) for Olivia. Many of the characters are serious and Karen Abad writes, "She is the smiliest baby ever, so trust me when I say that it was extremely difficult to get her to not smile." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Character Baby Photography:** The trend of dressing up babies as pop culture characters for photography is on the rise. - **Personalized Baby Products:** There is an opportunity for companies to create personalized baby products, such as costumes and sets, for parents looking to capture special moments with their children. - **Social Media Baby Influencers:** As these adorable baby photos continue to gain popularity on social media, there is room for baby influencers and sponsored posts in the influencer marketing industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to specialize in baby and family photography, specifically with pop culture themes. - **Costume and Set Design:** Companies specializing in costume and set design could create customizable options for parents looking to dress up their babies for special occasions. - **Influencer Marketing:** Brands could partner with baby influencers for sponsored posts and product placements, specifically in the baby and parenting industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wholesome Kingpin Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorners-super-bowl.md) - [Customer-Starring Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-influencers.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Adorable Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-monica-day.md) - [Retro Sitcom-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-full-house.md) - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Kid-Designed Travel Itineraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visit-anaheim.md) - [Animated Pop Revival Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-pups.md) - [Spooky TV Series Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-addams-collection.md)
