Baby Prediction Portrait

GPT Image 2.5 Flare · 1K · 3:4 · 6 credits

Reference images were generated for this demonstration; no real person or customer photo was used.

Generation prompt
Stage a warm family photograph in which the two adults from the reference images hold a baby whose features blend both of them. The adults appear only as a torso and arms: the first reference supplies the forearms and sleeve at the left, the second supplies the shoulder and hand supporting the head at the right; no adult face is in the frame. Baby features: eye shape from the first reference, nose width and brow shape from the second, hair colour from the darker reference, skin tone between the two, a soft rounded face. Baby cues: about six months old, short neck, cheek pads, a small nose with no bridge, calm neutral expression looking toward the right hand, one hand gripping the adult's finger. Pose: cradled at chest height, head supported, body turned three quarters toward the camera. Scene: a plain warm grey wall, a soft knitted blanket over the adult's arm, nothing else in the frame. Lighting: large soft window light from the left, a warm fill from a bounce card on the right, gentle falloff at the edges, no hard shadows on the baby's face. Camera: 50mm at chest height, shallow depth of field, focus on the baby's eyes. Photographic realism, warm and calm, no illustration style, no text. This is a fictional composite portrait, not a real identifiable child.

What it is used for

  • A playful test for couples, with very high sharing rates on social media.
  • Content that guesses a baby's sex and appearance while trying to conceive or during pregnancy.
  • Family photos: place the baby into a picture of the three of you.
  • As a gift: make a preview portrait of a baby who has not been born yet.

Six Month Old Prediction

The standard setup: the stage that reads most clearly as a baby.

Reference photos: Two front-facing photos of adults, one of the father and one of the mother, with even lighting and nothing covering the face. The order determines the feature sources, so do not upload them in the wrong order.

Compose a realistic studio portrait of a six-month-old baby whose features are blended from the two adults in the reference images. Feature sources, stated explicitly: eye shape and eyelid fold from the person in the first reference image, eyebrow thickness and nose width from the person in the second, face width and jawline a soft blend of both, lip shape slightly fuller than either, skin tone between the two and warmed by baby-soft circulation, hair colour following the darker of the two and fine in texture. Age cues: a six-month-old with a short neck, soft rounded cheek pads, a small button nose with no visible bridge, a tiny chin, mostly gums rather than teeth, large dark eyes with a calm neutral expression looking just past the camera, ears small and soft. Pose: lying on a cream knitted blanket with one hand near the mouth, the other arm relaxed, body slightly turned toward the window. Scene: a plain warm cream wall, a folded muslin blanket in the background, one soft basket edge out of focus. Lighting: large soft window light from the left, a gentle fill from the right, soft shadow under the chin, no hard highlights. Camera: 85mm at the baby's eye level, shallow depth of field with the eyes critically sharp. Photographic realism, natural skin texture with no retouching beyond softness, no illustration style, no text. This is a fictional composite portrait, not a real identifiable child.
Negative prompt
generic stock baby, toddler proportions, adult facial features, glassy eyes, plastic skin, teeth, harsh flash, text, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: Standard variant. After the image comes out, check the three age cues first: short neck, no visible nose bridge and full cheeks; if one of them is missing, the baby reads as too old.

Newborn Swaddle

For the quiet, soft quality of a birth photo.

Seedream 5 Lite does not offer 1:1 1K — this runs at 1:1 2K.

Reference photos: Two front-facing photos of adults. The newborn variant allows softer light and less detail, and it fails less often than the six-month variant.

Create a soft newborn-style portrait of a baby whose features blend the two adults in the reference images, in the style of a professional newborn photography session. Feature sources: eye shape and eyelid fold from the first reference, nose width and eyebrow shape from the second, face rounded with newborn softness, hair very fine and following the darker parent's tone, skin tone between the two with a soft rosy warmth. Newborn cues: a wrinkled forehead, a tiny button nose, closed or half-open sleepy eyes, a short neck, one fist tucked against the cheek, a swaddle that covers the body with only the head and one hand visible. Pose: swaddled on a soft cream blanket, head resting on a folded muslin cloth, body curved gently, photographed from slightly above. Scene: a plain cream backdrop, one wooden bowl shaped prop out of focus at the edge, no other objects. Lighting: very large diffused light from the upper left with a white bounce fill, extremely soft shadow, warm neutral white balance, no flash glint. Camera: 50mm from a slight top angle, shallow depth of field, focus on the near eye, gentle highlight on the cheek. Photographic realism, natural texture, muted warm palette, no text, no logos. This is a fictional composite portrait, not a real identifiable child.
Negative prompt
open bright eyes staring, teeth, adult proportions, hard flash, saturated colour, props with text, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: Newborn variant. The softer the light the better, and half-closed eyes look more real than wide-open ones; if the baby turns into a plastic doll, delete every word related to retouching first.

Held In Parents Arms

Placing the baby into a photo with both parents, which gives the strongest emotional result.

GPT Image 2.5 Flareimage → image3:4 · 2K

Reference photos: Two front-facing photos of adults. The adults appear only as arms and part of the torso, with no face in the frame, so the focus stays entirely on the baby.

Stage a warm family photograph in which the two adults from the reference images hold a baby whose features blend both of them. The adults appear only as a torso and arms: the first reference supplies the forearms and sleeve at the left, the second supplies the shoulder and hand supporting the head at the right; no adult face is in the frame. Baby features: eye shape from the first reference, nose width and brow shape from the second, hair colour from the darker reference, skin tone between the two, a soft rounded face. Baby cues: about six months old, short neck, cheek pads, a small nose with no bridge, calm neutral expression looking toward the right hand, one hand gripping the adult's finger. Pose: cradled at chest height, head supported, body turned three quarters toward the camera. Scene: a plain warm grey wall, a soft knitted blanket over the adult's arm, nothing else in the frame. Lighting: large soft window light from the left, a warm fill from a bounce card on the right, gentle falloff at the edges, no hard shadows on the baby's face. Camera: 50mm at chest height, shallow depth of field, focus on the baby's eyes. Photographic realism, warm and calm, no illustration style, no text. This is a fictional composite portrait, not a real identifiable child.
Negative prompt
adult face in frame, distorted hands, extra fingers, floating baby, plastic skin, harsh lighting, text, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: Emotional variant. Showing only the hands and cuffs of the adults is the key point: once a face appears, competition between the two adult identities lowers consistency.

Nano Banana 2 Litetext → image4:5 · 1K

A realistic studio portrait of a generic six-month-old baby lying on a cream knitted blanket, photographed at the baby's eye level with an 85mm lens. Age cues: a short neck, soft rounded cheek pads, a small button nose with no visible bridge, a tiny chin, mostly gums rather than teeth, large dark eyes with a calm neutral expression looking just past the camera, small soft ears, fine hair in a warm dark brown. Pose: one hand near the mouth, the other arm relaxed, body turned slightly toward the window. Scene: a plain warm cream wall, a folded muslin blanket behind, one soft basket edge out of focus. Lighting: large soft window light from the left with a gentle fill from the right, a soft shadow under the chin, no hard highlights and no flash. Shallow depth of field with the eyes critically sharp, natural skin texture with only softness, muted warm palette. This is a sample image of a fictional composite baby, not a real identifiable child. No text, no logos, no HDR.

Why this works: Text-only sample variant, the cheapest option. It carries no identity information and only serves as a fallback for the page; real users take one of the first three variants.

Use this prompt

If the result is wrong, change this first

The baby looks like a generic cute infant and does not resemble the parents.

Assign the source of each facial feature one by one: 'eye shape from the first reference image', 'nose width from the second', 'face shape blended', 'hair colour follows the darker parent'; only a stated source keeps the face from being random.

It looks like a three-year-old rather than a baby.

Describe the age with month-specific cues: 'a six-month-old with a short neck, soft rounded cheek pads, a small button nose with no bridge, mostly gums rather than teeth'.

The gaze or the expression is unsettling and lands in the uncanny valley.

Write 'calm neutral expression with relaxed eyes looking just past the camera'; do not write 'staring into the lens'.

In the family-of-three shot, the baby turns into a shrunken version of the parents.

Write 'the baby is held in the parent's arms with only the head and one hand visible'; showing only the head and one hand is what locks the proportions.

Notes

  • This template has to state clearly that the result is a composite portrait and not a portrait of a real individual, and the page copy also has to note that it is a fictional composite image made for entertainment.
  • State item by item which features each of the two reference images contributes; that is the dividing line between a baby who resembles the parents and a random cute baby.
