This is a technique called "tilt shift photography." There are tilt shift lenses you can buy to create this effect, but a cheaper way to do it is to use photoshop. Tilt shift photography is a way to make real life appear to be a miniature model. It's best to take a photo from a high place and shooting down. Trains, automobiles and people work better as the subject. You can check out the tutorial here.

My latest baby photo shoots....

Twins!! These two were adorable and fun - especially because they were so sleepy.
