“A Child Is Only A Moment”

“Yes, a child is only a moment, a wonderful moment that never comes again
Yes, a child is only a moment, hold on to that moment, for it never comes again.”
(Rosemary Clooney)

Recently, I got to meet and photograph this sweet little girl. She was everything her parents had hoped for. In that moment she was absolutely adorable and seven days old.

After working on these images of her, I dug out the photo albums of my own kids Matt and Amanda. I had forgotten how tiny they were. Amanda would grow up to teach us all about hope, faith and reaching for the stars. She would sail away to far away places and still hold us close.  Matt would teach us to see the flowers along the way, patience, that hugs solve just about any problem and that it is the little things that make life great.

Hold on these moments.
