Lauren Carson recently shared the behind-the-scenes photoshoot with baby Trent. Lauren owns Drawing in Light Photography and admits she’s never met a little one with as much expression as 7-day-old Trent.

I’ve been photographing newborns for a decade and have photographed hundreds of babies who have given me tons of great expressions. But none, and I mean NONE compare to the looks this sweet guy threw my way.” 

That’s some serious side-eye 

Lauren’s series of adorable scowls has gone gangbusters this week with over 157,000 likes and 37,000 shares.

Since sharing the photos, Trent has earned the nickname Grumpy Baby, but he’s actually a pretty happy little guy!

Many commenters also mentioned that it looked like Trent was pretty uncomfortable during the photoshoot, but this also wasn’t the case.

“He was perfectly comfortable. He wasn’t upset. He wasn’t crying. He wasn’t fussing. He was just scowling,” Carson said.

Of course, the trolls came to the comments party, complaining that Trent’s swaddle was too tight. But others saw the funny side of things and their comments did not disappoint!

The fact that Trent’s outfit changes but his scowl remains the same is pure gold!

Grumpy Baby makes us all smile

Lauren has been overwhelmed with comments since sharing the photos and admits both Trent’s mum and herself have loved reading through (most of) them.

The comments have been fantastic to read. They’re hilarious. People are loving the expressions. I think the baby just kind of portrays what a lot of us are feeling right now. So, it’s been a lot of fun,” Carson said.

Like most newborn photoshoots, Trent’s photoshoot featured both awake and asleep shots. Trent arrived at Lauren’s studio wide awake so they opted for the swaddled awake photos first.

“So, we wrapped him up and were gonna take some pictures when he just started throwing all these faces. His mom and I were just completely cracking up, laughing because of the intensity of his looks plus the eye contact,” Carson said.

Baby got Scowl

Trent isn’t the first little one to win the world over with his grumpy pout.  Check out this cheeky little scowler, shared by Ohio-based photographer Justine Tuhy.
