the moment it all began with a baby . . .

As I stood behind the camera over five years ago capturing these precious moments, I remember thinking that I would love to do this for everyone. What a special gift this was to capture these moments. At this time in my life most of my friends were getting married and having babies and there was no place I'd rather be than by their side as a bridesmaid (I've now been in 14 weddings) or in the delivery room minutes after the sweet baby arrived.  Five years ago is when this dream really found its home inside my head and heart.

Meet Henry my 6th nephew.  

I LOVE this picture for so many reasons. I see Henry laying on Ashley's hospital bed, just days old. I can only imagine the feelings that Aaron and Ashley were feeling at that time. I love seeing both of their hands touching him like they just can't get enough of his cuteness. Their two hands tell a story and Henry's laid back look and focused eyes tell another. Precious.
