This dear family, with whom I felt a deep connection with, and was so thrilled to have photographed during their maternity session just weeks before...

I waited with baited breath, to hear the glorious news, the good news of the safe arrival of their sweet baby A. I was aware that for this family, the desire for this pregnancy, for this precious baby had been a long and arduous process. As I was leaving on the day of their maternity shoot, I could feel this dear Mama's emotion...the little hints of worry mixed with love and hope. I looked into her eyes, gently squeezed her hand, and hoped she could feel my heart's support...

And then, a few weeks later...there it was in my inbox! The news, the GOOD news! This precious little one, this long awaited miracle...was here earth side and safe! To be held, cradled, and loved by his sweet family.

Welcome baby A, you are SO LOVED!

He taught me how to move the stars,
one at a time,
until new constellations formed in the sky.
