Sweetness, tender love, and a brand new angel is born


We react to the events of each day as they unfold and sometimes during the course of life we are surprised by the emotions that arise as we encounter certain people or situations. Often we don't think too much about it, but once in a while the feelings are so undeniably strong that we take notice.

As I hold my newly born nephew in my arms, the warmth of his body takes me into a world beyond where my body resides. My head droops lower in order to be as close to his breath as possible. His peaceful slumber is calming and quiets my mind....and that's when emotions take hold and rise up deep from my gut...and my heart beats faster as tears find their way out on my cheeks.

Surprised by this deep emotional reaction I turn away so not everyone can see the private personal moment I am having with this angel. But after a while it's impossible to hide. I can't really explain it but when it was time to take a few photos of him it was apparent to me that those photos will reflect my tender feelings towards him.

I am so moved by this little baby...."Mason"

Photo Tip: Take photos of what moves you......it's always a sure bet you will get an amazing photo
