I hope you understand your value. And if you don’t quite yet, I hope that you do soon. I hope you create from your heart and that you let your art feed your soul. Never forget when you first fell in love with the golden hour or how it feels to watch a child blossom […]
As I’m sitting here, curled up in a blanket, editing images while listening/sort of watching The Walking Dead, the thought occurred to me… I don’t blog enough newborn images.
