part of the email that i received from K, after photographing her daughter's birth and showing the sneak peek...

i keep looking at the ones you sent from the birth and i swear they just make me cry every time. seeing the photo of me holding her for the first time and G kissing me just chokes me up. it's so overwhelming. you captured so much more than you can imagine. you managed to save that moment in time for me like nothing else. i am just so grateful to you i struggle with how to express that. it's just so outside of any word or phrase. thank you seems so empty compared to the well of emotion your photos give me. your gift is second only to J herself. everything else she'll outgrow or eventually not need, but your photos.....irreplaceable and timeless.

truly, that is what being a photographer is all about.

and some photos from our newborn session today (three days later). can you believe how beautiful and radiant mom is?! i surely didn't look like her three days after giving birth.

i'm so thankful for my job...and the people that i have met.
