on a sentimental note...

This is what it's really about. Life is not about our homes or cars or stress or the other nonsense we devote way too much of our time to. It is about our relationships...the love we give and take...about how well we treat ourselves and others. I was just so moved by these pictures as I was sitting in front of my computer screen editing them. One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to capture emotion like this..to be a part of people's lives and to witness and document thier memories. I am so heartened by L & B's love for each other and the love that they are already giving to thier unborn daughter. These images represent hope for our disentegrating society: here are two people that will teach thier child love, respect, and honor; who will appreciate the gift that has been lent to them; and will in turn make the world better.

"If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character.
If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the family home.
If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.
When there is order in each nation, there will be peace in the world." -- Ancient Chinese Proverb
