The baby girl's father was a fellow ex-GI in college, and her mother was a nurse; they also had two other children. The photo won a third-honorable mention and $50 which thrilled me. In 1976 my advertising agency employer entered it in the annual photo contest of the American Association of Advertising Agencies, where it won Best Mood Depiction as well as Best Human Nature. It's the only photo I ever entered in national contests.

Wow what a beautiful picture.. A very moving scene for sure, and a wonderful back story too... This is one of those pics that in IMO is timeless, it evokes a powerful emotion....... Now I am a nature photo guy and I don't take people pics, but sometimes family and maybe a wedding, but I've got to say that I was really moved by this photo.

There is a lot of emotion captured in this photo. It is such a touching, beautiful portrait of unconditional love. Do you still have the magazine with your photo in it? :D
