'One Day Young' is a [newborn photography series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) by celebrity shutterbug Jenny Lewis.

None of the women in this series are famous faces, nor are they familiar faces for Lewis. She advertised for the project with the following message: "My aim is to capture the extraordinary bonding, warmth and strength between mother and infant. In fact the whole range of amazing emotions felt at that time, as the [mothering instinct](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strong-like-mom) kicks in."

Each photo immortalizes an intimate, fleeting moment that signals the beginning of a burgeoning, life-long bond. The series captures a range of emotion, with some of the women joyfully grinning at their babies, while others close their eyes in an emotional reverie or simply gaze at the camera with pride.
