Welcome to the World, Savannah

This is my best friend Tia, and her husband Mike's, new little angel, on her 3rd day of born life. I was there the day that Tia and Mike met. It's fascinating to see how relationships begin, grow, and culminate. It's kinda neat to see the merging of these two people that I love so much, into such an incredible physical form.

She is as beautiful as they are individually. As beautiful as their relationship. As beautiful as they are together.

She is Savannah Faith.

 

And she did such a good job on her 1st photo shoot. She sweetly put up with us for a very long time :)

Leilani celebrates 1 year of life

If you've been following my blog, you would remember my precious little God Daughter's birth. I posted photos I took of her when she was about a week old. Well, now she's one year old! Her mother gave me the honor of naming her, and I chose the name Leilani, because in its Hawaiian origin, it means "Heavenly Child" and "Flower from Heaven". A "lei" is the familiar Hawaiian necklace of flowers, shells or feathers. It symbolizes regard and love for the person to whom it is given. Our flower from Heaven; Our Heavenly Child. Her first birthday party was a Luau themed celebration.
