How many times have you tried to grab your baby’s attention by desperately waving your hands in the air while making kooky sounds? I know I’ve had plenty of those moments. I even had Greg stand behind me making funny faces to get Boogie to look at the camera. The ShutterBuddy is an innovative products used to grab an infant’s attention during a photoshoot. It’s checkboard pattern grabs and holds an infant’s attention long enough to capture the perfect shot. The ShutterBuddy works well with infants up to 9 months of age and fits over the lens of most digital cameras. On DSLRs, the fit may be tight. Here’s what the ShutterBuddy looks like on my 50mm lens.
As you can see, it is obstructing the built in flash. Since I use the Lightscoop to bounce the flash backwards, it isn’t an issue. The ShutterBuddy is a great addition to my collection of camera equipment. It will definitely come in handy when photographing babies.

This is a good idea. I could see using something like with different designs to hold the attention of even older kids.
