for some reason, this phrase stuck in my mind while I was scrolling through these photos today. love poured in... like a large jug that fills an empty glass. these sweet newborns are just clean slates - a tabula rasa - into which their adoring parents fill and pour love, nurturing, selflessness. these children haven't experienced grief or pain or sorrow.. just unfailing love from the ones that gave them life and meet their every need. i see it in every family i meet and it makes me love my job even more.
Here's a few examples =)
Gabriel.. little brother of sweet Christian that I've photographed often over the last year.
they let me come into their home, and I had such a great time capturing some shots of this sweet one with his family. We worked with him and were patient, and it payed off handsomely.
there's many more to see of sweet Gabriel, but I thought I'd focus on the ones pouring in the love..
And then there's miss lilly kate. her mom wins the medal this week (or year!) for effort given.. she drove from Sugarland by herself with a 2 week old, getting the 16, 4 and 2 yr olds to school by herself since hubby was away for dove hunting?! we thought sleeping baby pics would be oh so nice, but lilly kate had other plans =) after all the excitement getting here, she was wide eyed and bushy tailed!
And I'll end with some cuties that I wish I could have met when they were 2 weeks! Maegan and Lauren came from Conroe and are 9 months. We didn't get tons of smiles, but still got some sweet shots that I hope mom loves.
just worn out! thanks, Brenda, for bringing them out. I look forward to seeing them toddle around in the future. That should be fun!
Happy Labor Day everyone!
