‘A true victim of the Snapchat era’: Parents are resurfacing hilariously filtered baby photos from the 2010s

If you scroll through your old photos from the mid-2010s—the golden era of Snapchat—chances are a fair number of those pictures feature a dog filter or a flower crown. 

Now, nearly a decade later, one TikToker has now been struck by a unique dilemma. “Your daughter wants to see her baby pictures, but she was born in 2016,” user @themkidzmama3 posted in a video that has since gone viral.

As the Adele’s 2015 hit ">“Hello” plays, a slideshow of her daughter’s baby photos flashes across the screen. Each photo uses a different filter, from the dog ears to a Sia wig. It’s undeniable: Her daughter is a product of the Snapchat filter era.

There was a time when baby photos were professionally staged and displayed proudly in parents’ homes. But with smartphones and social media parents now have the ability to snap hundreds of photos a day (not all of them keepsake-worthy). 

The TikTok video gained over 26.5 million views, with other parents’ relating to Snapchat filters of that era. “There’s gonna be money in defiltering apps in the future,” one user wrote in the comments. “Kids nowadays won’t get photo albums, they’ll get an icloud folder,” another added.

Following the virality of @themkidzmama3’s video, another mom jumped on the trend, showing off her daughter’s baby photos from the same era. “I have nothing to say for myself apart from I’m sorry my princess. A true victim of the Snapchat era,” she wrote in the caption of the video.

Her slideshow includes a face-swap photo featuring mom-and-daughter and a picture with the ever-present flower crown. “The flower crown was a universal baby photo for 2016-2017,” one person wrote in the comments.

Another confessed: “The amount of photos I have of my baby as a chicken nugget.”
