A Mother's Kiss by phil_howcroft

A Mother's Kiss

We are part of the "support bubble" for our daughter Claire, her husband Matt and our granddaughter Willow

Being in the "support bubble" I am able to take some photos of Willow.

This is a candid moment, Claire giving Willow a kiss and Willow having a little smile.

Sony A7, with Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III RXD, edited in ART and GIMP

I am quite pleased with the results.

Willow is so precious! Beautiful shot, granddad. =)

She's gorgeous. So pleased you get these moments. My niece is now rolling. Definitely missed new baby stage :( Thankful for whats app for videos :)

Hope Claire doing ok, such hard times. I know my sister only gets telephone healthvisitor calls. Niece is third child so my sister since it all before but much harder with first child to be without normal range of support.

That is a gorgeous shot, an absolute beauty. I am glad they have you and your wife. When our boy was so premature and he finally escaped hospital, I was instructed to be at home with him for several months away from contact with others until the flu season had passed. Kind of locked down, I guess. So I know how much you sometimes just need someone else there. I am sure you and your lady are a very welcome sight.

This is so adorable, Phil. Brings back beautiful memories of my grandchildren when they were her age. Isn't it wonderful to be a granddad? Fav.

She’s a sweetheart- she has a lovely name as well. I’m a bit old school with names but I love ‘Willow’.

@newbank that’s v hard - clapping eyes on the health visitor was such a lifeline.

Thanks everyone, my wife asked me why did I post this in mono? Willow has lovely skin tones, rosy red cheeks and a pretty outfit, all that is lost in mono. I don't get it !!!!
So I better post the colour version of this shot as my next photo, so you can judge for yourself !

@phil_howcroft I agree with Jane!

Gorgeous! A beautiful moment in time!

Seen through the eyes of love.

This one needs to be in color too now that I know the colors--background so warm--the sweet kiss! I mean, I really am not telling you what to do (ha, I can seem so bossy!)
