Babies seem to have a different expression every second, and the expressions are so innocent. They hide nothing. I like to think each expression reveals the drifting thoughts going on in their tiny little brains. Rather difficult to photograph because the face they wear when you press the shutter release button is invariably different from the one you get.
Rosella here is half-Persian, half-Caucasian. Aside from being so cute you could chew her cheeks off, you can already tell how beautiful her mixed blood is going to make her.
As ridiculous as it sounds, I really want to have a child that sometimes I feel that I wouldn’t care much about not having the father around (unless I know he’d be a good father)…you have no idea how much I love it when I see a child with his/her parents…how peaceful, how refreshing, how precious the feeling of being a parent must be. You get to see them when they’re happy, sad, having funny gestures on their faces. I liked it when you said: “they hide nothing” because I never thought about them this way. Rosella is so cute, if she’d be sleeping near me right now, I would have kissed her softly on one of her innocent eyes.
Wow, I usually find white babies completely chubby-ooky, but this one is truly sweet and very pretty. Lucky little girl, I think.
What is up with this YEAR? Everyone I KNOW is having babies… It’s odd.
@Sarah — That is rather strange to assume someone wouldn’t be a good father. The thing I like about seeing a child with his/her parents (first time parents especially) is how they treat their baby with such attention, as if it’s the only the in the world that matters.
@Xibee — Is chubby-ooky a good thing? For me, it’s marriages all round.
Ahh she’s so cute, those eyes are breathtaking! Great photos and excellent colour :)
How beautiful the eyes are! I remember my kids both having eyes of the same blue intensity when they were babies but they both changed as they got older. While their eyes are still blue, my daughter has more of a gray hue and my son has a light blue eye color.
One word…
Cute!
Nicely taken Jeff! Keep on making these very beautiful pictures!
#3 was too good
what i loved best about all the pictures was the way you got the eyes. stunning.
@Sophia — Thanks! The colours were quite tricky to match with each shot because the sun kept coming in and out of the clouds, changing the colour temperature.
@Lucy — Apparently, all kids have eyes this colour until they grow older, something I didn’t know until recently.
@Pepijn — Thank you!
@fathima — I can’t figure out the expression, but I like it nonetheless. Perhaps because it looks like a complex emotion, instead of the mostly basic expressions from babies.
Beautiful picture. Love it.
Thank you.
