they really are

my favorite

type of session.

simple clothes,

pretty light,

white linens.

stripping away

the fuss.

keeping only

what matters.

the gap-toothed smile,

the way her hair falls

just right,

the way you can

hear

her laughter

when you see that image.

his crinkled nose,

perfect little toes,

and crystal blue eyes.

it’s not about

the clothes

or the props,

it’s about remembering

your child,

your children,

just

as

they

are.
