Before one mom even knew she was expecting a baby girl, she knew she was expecting a Swiftie.
Jori, who goes by JorLinn on TikTok, has celebrated each one of her daughter Noa James’ monthly milestones with a Taylor Swift-themed photoshoot since giving birth at the beginning of 2025.
“A friend and I had discussed it, and we were collaborating together,” Jori exclusively tells PEOPLE. “We started collecting pieces. I have put a lot of thought into it, and I’ve done a lot of DIY for the photos themselves.”
Noa’s “debut” photo was inspired by Swift’s self-titled first album. Joni dressed the little one in a white dress, cowgirl boots and placed a guitar by her side.
For each album, Jori selects an outfit that coordinates with the overall color scheme and vibe, adding any other accessories she might need. When she can’t find the perfect infant-sized pieces in stores, Joni crafts them herself or turns to creative friends for help.
After each photo, Jori quickly gets to planning the next one, sourcing the materials she might need to recreate each iconic look.
“I try to pick things that people will understand, but also are iconic to that era, and concept a rough outfit,” she explains. “Then I search everywhere for different items, going to Walmart or sourcing people to make things for us and then we go from there. I already have all the albums, so we don’t have to source those.”

Jori shared a carousel of all six photos thus far on TikTok, where it went viral, amassing over 380,000 views.
“Once the video started taking off, I thought, ‘This is really cool,’ because I put so much thought and effort into it and it’s cool to see other people react to it,” she tells PEOPLE.
“We know the Swiftie community is strong, and it is cool reading and seeing other people’s ideas,” she adds. “People have told me they’re going to do the same when they have their daughter.”

Jori already has most of Noa’s outfits planned for the remaining albums: Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.
However, given that Swift only has 11 albums, she’s keeping her fingers crossed that the pop star will release another before Noa turns 1.
While the fun project will inevitably come to an end, Jori says she’s keeping her options open and might find a way to bring back the idea in the future once her daughter is older. Like Jori’s eldest daughter, she has no doubt Noa will be a Swiftie for life — just like her.

Jori’s daughter
Jori says that Swift’s music has been “deeply impactful” for her, “both as a teenager and now as an adult.”
“Her music has become something truly generational for us, creating a special bond between me and my children,” Jori shares. “This project is something I’ve put a lot of thought into, even before it began. I’ve been very intentional with the creative process and especially with selecting pieces for each era — they all carry meaning.”
Though Jori already has a plan for her daughter’s milestone birthday, she shares that “the perfect 12-month photo would be a picture with Taylor.”
