Another moronic headline by Bored Panda. My first reaction was 'Why the hell does she think her daughter has to hide her cleft lip??' In the comments I find out, that this is mor about respecting the privacy of your children - which I totally approve of. I have no idea who does the headlines at BP, but they should go and take up a job at some nasty tabloid. Lovely pics!

Nice pictures but why don't you just not put photos of your daughter online. That's the best - and easiest - protection...

Awesome photos!

Amazing! You not only inspire me but also your daughter. Showing her the world but also protecting her at the same time. This was beautifully done, I can totally remember when you 1st started this project and how we were discussing it over our coffee dates. I would have never imagined it would turn into this several years later. Keep going! I also love this project because it breaks the stigma of Cleft kiddos. She healthy, beautiful, happy and full of life, nothing is going to stop her. I love that you also don’t stop her from who she wants to be. Most parents want to protect their kids and don’t expose them to the world which I think causes more harm. Being a kid and socializing with the outside world develops their personality make them better humans, in my humble opinion. Keep going, keep teaching, keep on living, you’re doing it right!

The images are so surreal. Love it!

I wish more parents were like this mother and a) respected their child's right to privacy/future desire to not have their whole lives made public b) protected their child's anonymity so that only actual family and solid friends could see photos (soooo many reasons to not put all your personal details/schedules/routines out for all to see) and c) depicted their children doing totally NORMAL, unstructured, messy age appropriate play.

Beautiful!

These are lovely pictures of a very happy kid. Besides from being a great photographer, you are a great mum.

Don’t care about the cleft clip thing. Your child is so beautiful. I bet she’s even more beautiful in full picture. But those eyes are stunning. Love the photos

Thank you, Bored Panda people, for changing the title into something civilized again and something that matches the content of the post. This clickbait c**p isn't necessary. I tend to click on everything that is featured, anyway (because, you know, bored :-) )

As a fine art and architectural photographer, I must say I'm jealous. My subjects don't talk, and don't walk, and I can use all the complicated lighting setups I want. Shooting people, especially kids (with natural light no less) is harder than people think. These are great shots. And as a privacy freak, I'll all for the concept because you get the best of both worlds, plus having no face helps strangers relate the photos to their own lives and experiences (if they're blonde and white of course, haha) which helps make them a bit more magical.

Fine if you feel you have to to share your brat's photos with the world. Just remember, once she has grown up, she might just like to know what she looked like as a child.

Cute kid, good photos, clever, variety, nice gallery - wow - who are you and what did you do with the normal sad sack redundant snowflake that normally posts on BP?

It sounds more like to me that this mom is ashamed of her daughter and doesn't want to embarrass herself and also her daughter with the pics. Shame on her! Its b******t saying that she wants her prespect her rite to privacy! She's a freaking kid! Kids don't have privacy!!! You're freaking stupid! I really detest liberal parenting! That will destroy that kid later in life, u just wait and see and I will say I told u so!
