Heaven’s gift, held gently in earthly hands.

Wrinkled newborn feet—still carrying traces of heaven.

Everyone says “soak it all in” like you aren’t already trying. I just want you to know—it’s okay if it feels like a blur. That’s why I take these photos, so you don’t have to remember everything perfectly.

You will never regret taking the photos. But you might regret not having them. One day, that tiny baby will be asking to see what they looked like when they fit in your hands.

They won’t always wake up in the middle of the night needing you. They won’t always reach for you first when they fall. They won’t always find their greatest comfort in your arms. But right now? Right now, you are everything to them. And that’s something worth holding onto.`
