Baby Skin under the Sun

Last weekend felt like what we’d call a “London Summer,” with temperatures soaring to South-of-France levels. Chiara handled it like a champ, even though our flat can get pretty warm and the sudden heat caught us off guard.

It was also a great practice run for our upcoming trip to Greece. We tested sun cream and a hat for Chiara (though we totally forgot sunglasses… and she ended up with red eyes by the end of the day). For a late afternoon outing, we took her to Old Brompton Cemetery.

During the walk, Sabrina snapped this perfect shot of Chiara soaking in the outdoors—she was especially fascinated by the trees and squirrels. It’s funny how baby skin looks in the sunlight, so white and almost translucent… then again, considering how little outdoor exposure she’s had, that might actually be true!
