Child by Window, Cozy Winter Portrait

Tags
A warm, intimate photorealistic portrait of a child holding a soft blanket close while watching gentle snowfall through a large floor-to-ceiling window, intended to feel peaceful and tender. Medium: high-resolution digital photograph with naturalistic skin tones and film-like depth. The child is about six years old, slight build, mixed-ethnicity appearance, short dark hair with a few loose strands at the forehead, long lashes, wearing a chunky cream wool sweater; they clutch a textured knit blanket to their chest and look out the window with a quiet, reflective expression. Setting: interior living room at dusk during winter; outside the window delicate snowflakes drift down and a faint silhouette of a decorated tree with tiny warm lights sits at mid-distance beyond the glass. Light and color: cool, bluish daylight (#3A7BD5) from outside provides a soft rim and fill on the window side of the face, while warm amber Christmas lights (#FFB86B) inside cast gentle, warm reflections and a low-key glow across the other cheek and blanket; overall balance yields a soft mingling of cool and warm hues across skin and textiles. Composition and framing: vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, tight three-quarter portrait (head and shoulders to mid-torso) centered slightly lower in frame to leave negative space above for falling snow and window view; the child occupies the middle third, with the window and snow visible behind and above their shoulder for depth — leave breathing room on the top two-thirds for copy if needed. Depth and focus: shallow depth of field with the child crisply in focus and a creamy bokeh of distant tree lights and snowflakes; some snowflakes are softly blurred in the foreground to add depth. Materials and textures: visible knit weave of blanket and sweater, soft matte skin, cool translucent frosted glass with tiny bead-like snow accumulation on the sill. Props and context: a folded knit blanket in the child’s hands, dim string lights reflected on the glass, a faintly lit evergreen silhouette outside. Motion and energy: slow, peaceful movement of snowflakes and a slight lift in a loose hair strand to suggest a gentle draft. Mood and intent: quietly cozy, reflective, emotionally tender; colors and lighting should emphasize warmth meeting cold without harsh contrasts. No visible text or studio equipment.
