Photographer Adds Full Sets of Teeth to Newborn Photos & It's Hysterically Creepy

We have to admit we've always wondered what a little chunk might look like with chompers, which is why when Haehl's photos recently went viral, we were doubled over with laughter.

"I just thought it was so funny," she says, "and would be a great way to put a smile on people's faces — literally."

"I didn't do a photo shoot specifically for this," she tells us, but once inspiration struck she took photos that would lend themselves to some toothy alterations. The mom says some people think she used Photoshop to get the cheeky grins on the babies, but she actually used an application called FaceApp.

Haehl then posted her creations onto her Coffee Creek Studios Facebook page, where they quickly amassed a huge following. Since its publication, the post has been liked more than 24,000 times and shared more than 42,000 times.

"I think these photos were popular with people because it is so different from the normal way babies look and they're quite hilarious," she tells CafeMom.

Haehl admits that her images are a helpful reminder that it's a good thing these babies look a bit goofy. "I think we all realize why babies aren't born with a full set of teeth!" she says.

"I loved having a variety of images in the album … some that were obviously awkward but then some that looked so natural you almost wouldn't notice what is off about the photo!" she explains.

Haehl, a former nurse and now a full-time photographer, says that "laughter really is the best medicine!"

That's why she decided to share the album instead of keeping the laughs all to herself. And thank goodness she did!

"Overall the parents of the babies in the album have been very understanding," she says.

The photographer says that neither she nor the parents of the babies "anticipated them going viral, but they have all been very understanding and I've kept communication lines open with them to keep them informed throughout this whole thing."
