This set turns one photo into a timeline, imagining the same person as a baby, a child, a teenager, an adult and an elder. People use it for side-by-side carousels, birthday posts and the classic aging trend video.

Each age is a separate Reshot AI template you can open with a selfie in the iPhone app, or copy into another tool. All nine prompts use your upload as the identity reference and keep the warm, soft-lit portrait style consistent.

How these templates use your photo

Each template starts from a photo you pick. The prompt tells the model what to change, and your photo is the reference for everything else. Clear, front-facing photos with even light give the closest match.

1. Newborn asleep on a blanket

A sleeping newborn on a soft cream knit blanket in a white lace baby outfit, with round cheeks, tiny hands and soft curls. Dreamy nursery light keeps it gentle, and the prompt still uses your photo as the identity reference.
