i had the great fortune to take photos of a family dear to my heart. i anguished over my equipment and lighting. i have no experience. and yet i knew i would not fail. we saw this shot at the same time. i eased off the couch and into position like i knew what i was doing. while they cooed at their little lulu, i snapped and snapped, trying not to disturb the moment. trying not to remind them of my intrusion. i looked at my friend. tears pouring down her face.
i cried long and hard as i edited their faces. their family in total. when i see this photo i will always think of how much life is held in our hands. not only blood flowing through veins. but love. a marriage. girls. babies. a life's work. a world without end.
This is perfection, Love.

well. i might have jumped the gun on this post today. and clearly this is not a monday shot which defeats the purpose, right?! but this shot hit the mark. it was money to me. xo
DeleteWonderful photo! Relationships are not always about holding hands in the good times - it's even more important to keep holding during the bad times. May many safe hands hold us all as we enter a new year. Love from the future (it's already 2013 here in NZ)
