Then & Now Girl Portrait – Emotional Birthday Transformation

Create a nostalgic black-and-white portrait showing a “then and now” transformation of the same girl. On the left side: use the uploaded baby photo, showing her as a toddler sitting at a table, looking up with curiosity and innocence. Add a soft year text above her (e.g., "2006"). On the right side: use the uploaded current photo of the same girl, now grown up, resting her chin on her hands and smiling gently while looking at the baby version. Add a year text above her (e.g., "2026"). Place a birthday cake in the center with a number candle (e.g., "21"), softly decorated with cream frosting. Ensure both versions of the girl are interacting visually, creating an emotional connection across time. Style the entire image in black and white (monochrome), with soft lighting, subtle shadows, shallow depth of field, and a classic timeless photography feel. High detail, realistic skin texture, emotional storytelling composition, studio background, 4k quality. Composition: baby on left, adult on right, cake centered, balanced framing, minimal background distractions.
