“Bestow on them a crown of beauty  instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” – Isaiah 61:3 I have a story to tell you. A story filled with joy and hope. I met this family when their oldest daughter, Morgan, was planning her wedding and they hired me to be the wedding photographer. They are a wonderful, life-giving family. My heart sank when I received an email from Morgan a week after she saw that I was offering to do photos for families that lost their homes in the Waldo Canyon Fire. Her father lost his home and it was in one of the heavily damaged neighborhoods. It was the home that meant the most to them all.

Phineas (2 months old)

There’s something about taking newborn photos without any props that soothes my soul. The images show quiet moments. Soft, cuddly baby parts. Life in a world where time doesn’t exist and there’s no worries or stress. It’s natural and real. And I’m in love. I’m in love with a little man named Phineas. He came into my life 2 months ago and now I can’t imagine my life without him. I want to remember these moments because as they did with my other two sons, the moments went by so quickly. I want to remember the swirl on the top of his head, his chunky little legs. In just a few months he’ll be crawling and laughing, and then he’ll have opinions and greater needs than just being with his momma in these quiet moments in my room. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek into my heart. – Megan
