I am a NJ newborn photographer (http://www.avnidaphotography.com) who has been featured in Fox News, several other news outlets as well as in peer-reviewed websites. I have photographed more than 1000 kids and I love my profession/passion for the fact that I get a chance to work with kids. They are the best.
Their funny expressions cover a wide range of emotions. They can make you laugh with their smiles. Make you feel really emotional when they look at you ever so innocently. Or curiously wonder, as to what might be going on in their minds. You wonder how they feel in this new world they just arrived in. By the way, when I say, "they just", it is because most of the newborns I photograph are between five to 12 days of age.
Due to COVID-19, my business has been impacted over the past few months. That has given me an opportunity to go through my archives and find interesting photographs to share with the world. Life can sometimes feel gloomy these days, but these little ones will bring sunshine to your world. At least, they did to mine.
This is just the first batch of select photos from my newborn photography portfolio. In the coming days, I will be posting another set of select photos with smiling newborns. And, then many more, especially those from cake smash photography sessions. These are photo sessions for when the little one turns one year old, and they get to smash a cake (and taste sugar) for the first time. It is SO MUCH FUN!
CAPTION CONTEST: (no monetary value) Put your suggestions for a caption for each photo in the comments. I'll replace my suggested caption with yours - with credit to your username - for funny ones.

I am going to act so cute and cuddly that none of your defenses will work. You will do my bidding!

Milady, you just bundled me up. Can we open it up and talk like adults over a cup of tea or coffee, and some crumpets?

And then I told him, does it look like I care? Does it now? What expression on my face says that I care?

Oh, you have my full attention. Please tell me more. The story sounds so interesting

Ah, that feels so good on the back. Is this just a newborn photo session or could you massage my back as well please?

I tell you, it was so distressing. I still can't get over it. I need to put my head down and just re-think it over.

Quelqu'un a dit qu'il y avait du gâteau. Ils ont clairement menti. Bien sûr, je suis triste. Très triste. (Someone said there was cake. They clearly lied. Of course, I am sad. Very sad.)

Happy...Happy...Happy...Excited...who said sad? Me...happy...yes, i am soooo happy.

Just keep looking into my eyes. For just one more minute, and then we'll see who is photographing who...

I hear that when you grow up, you can blow these raspberries that are really awesome. Let me give it a shot.
