Postcard: Newly Born

New born baby - Photography by Lola Akinmade

The raw feelings that wash over me at the sight of a newborn baby are indescribable. While cliché words like “innocent” and “precious” immediately pop into mind, when I see a newborn, I see man at his/her purest.

In essence, at the very best moment of ourselves when we didn’t know much and didn’t need to.

Plus, newborns are cute too…

  1. @Everyone – Thanks!

    @Roz (Fly Girl) – I know, right? 🙂 It’s been on our minds lately though so who knows.

  2. Oh Lola! At first I was shocked and thought you had a baby in between travel, TBEX and work! Little newborn toes are always so cute.

  3. Wonderful shot and sentiment! We just spent last weekend with friends in Bratislava who have an 8-week old, but he was born 6 weeks early so he’s just getting up to newborn size (3.5 kilos). So sweet – the whole world seems open to him.

  4. Just beautiful! Amazing picture!

  5. Love this Lola, and look at those tiny feet!
