What happens

Portrait of Lotte is a series of time-lapse viral videos depicting the growth of a baby girl into a pre-teen, and subsequently an adult. It was first posted by filmmaker Frans Hofmeester from Utrecht, Netherlands on 17 April 2012. The video, depicting Lotte growing into a 12-year old, gained widespread attention and the video was used on a Sprint commercial. After the first video covered Lotte's growth from newborn to 12 years of age, Hofmeester has kept releasing videos of Lotte, such as from birth to 18 years old and, as of January 2023 from birth to 23 years of age. Hoffmeester has also released videos of his son growing up. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
