After months of anticipation, yesterday I was graced with the opportunity of photographing six day old newborn, Jacob Raymond Hilton first portraits. Capturing images are never just a click of a button for me. Yesterday this hour and a half studio portrait session, followed by an hour of catching up with my childhood friend, Sue-Ann and her husband, Stanley Hilton, encompassed the remembrance of Sue-Ann's passed father and years of desiring a child. Yesterday was a reminder for me that even after all hope feels lost, sometimes we still get graced with that one thing we desire most in this world. May we all remember that this holiday season.

Congratulations again, Sue-Ann and Stanley. Jacob could not have hand selected a more ideal set of parents. I am oh so happy for the three... make that four (including the beloved, pooch, Daisy!) of you.
