From my first cleft session. His parents were just so in love with him, and I think that shows.

I'm uneducated on this. I was wondering what causes cleft lip? He's got the cutest eyes.

Amy, Cleft lip and palate is a birth defect and in most cases is spontaneous (not inherited) and unrelated to any other condition. Sometimes it does come along with a disorder, as in my son's case.

When a baby forms in the womb, all of them start out with a bilateral cleft, and around 6-12 weeks, the pieces of the lip and palate come together. Sometimes, it just doesn't happen.

There's not a lot of information about what causes it, but it's thought to be a combination of genetic inheritance and environmental issues.

Hi,

that is interesting, I di dnot knoow that the lip and palate come together at a certain time. I'm glad you are doing this, I am sure you are educating more than just me on it.

Babies are so cute and lovable no matter what. Aren't they?

Yes, they are. :)

So glad you asked. I think a lot of people have questions but worry about offending, in real life and online, but I'd take questions over stares any day.

Just wonderful. Perfect crop. These are all just wonderful and they couldnt have had a better photographer I think than you for how you see beauty is so much more than what the world thinks beauty is. I love this shot the most I think for how you can see the parents are so happy with their baby. This whole series feels very special, and I think the photos will be even more special in the future when the babies face/lips will have changed a little because of surgery?

I'm sure he will be fine. Now is the best time to treat him, and if they do it while he is young, it won't even be noticeable.
Anyway, it hasn''t stopped him looking soooooo cute!!!
He will steal the ladies hearts when he is older!
