Your support makes all the difference.Sholom Ber Solomon could be your average hipster dad from Hackney, who likes to post funny pictures of his daughter on social media.
Except that the 36-year-old's elaborately set up photo shoots have earned him more than 13,000 followers on Instagram.
Sholom Ber’s nine-month-old daughter Zoe pops up in a flower pot, riding shotgun in a car or in the garden as an intrepid wildlife explorer.
In one of the most popular picture of the series, she is dressed up as a tiny garden gnome.
The dad joke always seems to be on Sholom Ber, as he dresses up as a cookie monster, nappy changer equipped with a gas mask or hula-hooping beach babe.
One picture features Sholom Ber doing a plié in a pink tutu with Zoe in a matching white outfit squished into his arms.
Before Zoe was born, the pictures focused on her mum Carli's growing baby bump. Now, Carli is the one who takes the pictures, with each ones taking about twenty minutes to capture.
Sholom Ber, who owns a vintage furniture store and lives in California, captions his pictures with #dadlife and #instadad, tapping into the appetite for goofy dad pics online.
