Hello, I felt absolutely compelled to write a thank you to you both…and your new lil sweet Miss! I found this page (completely random) while researching photography assistant jobs in Indianapolis. I currently live in California, however in a year- have plans to move back “home” to be closer to family. Speaking of family…I found it a bit ironic to find such a random page, with such stunning images, that left me wanted to know more…only to scroll down and watch a video detailing such a private part of your lives… on what day, no less? Mother’s Day! Sometimes, in life “things” just find us…on our path of life- our journey. I am thankful for such a discovery,a small glimpse into the lives of others… humbles me, reassures me…that our love and lives hold purpose, meaning, and- most importantly those lil baby moments that are so worthy of being held right and true…
~LOVE AND LIGHT~
