“Babies are soft. Anyone looking at them can see the tender, fragile skin and know it for the rose-leaf softness that invites a finger's touch. But when you live with them and love them, you feel the softness going inward, the round-cheeked flesh wobbly as custard, the boneless splay of the tiny hands. Their joints are melted rubber, and even when you kiss them hard, in the passion of loving their existence, your lips sink down and seem never to find bone. Holding them against you, they melt and mold, as though they might at any moment flow back into your body.
But from the very start, there is that small streak of steel within each child. That thing that says "I am," and forms the core of personality." -Diana Gabaldon
This family was amazing & such a joy to work with. Talen, the oldest brother was so incredibly sweet to his baby brother, Ezikiah. He loved his little brother so much that he almost refused to do the "Brother 4 sale" picture. He was fighting it, until we offered him some cookies, he was more than willing after that ;) Such a fun shoot!
