Don’t Stop Me Now

This little bundle of smiles and energy is Owen.  You know upon meeting the Simmons family that their little guy is special in many ways.  Like Bela and Lily, Owen has a very special heart.  I never realized how many babies are born with heart issues, and how trying and hard it can be on their families, not to mention the poor little babies!  Owen is just 8 days younger than my little baby.  He has an oxygen tube and a feeding tube right now, and despite all of that, he is full of smiles and a is real joy to his parents and his sister.  It really hits home when I see families dealing with these tough medical issues with their tiny little ones.  I feel blessed that I don’t have to go through it, and also the need to help these families that do.  Without further ado, Mr. Owen-big blue eyes and a smile that never fades!

I really love this next image-I usually process photos with a lot of strong color, but this one is so soft-I love the way Owen is touching his mom’s face, and the soft light that is coming through the trees…

Kamryn is a sweetie!  I love her eyes in this shot!

They brought some fun things with them for the shoot, including a pinwheel!  Owen was mesmerized!

And a big red ball!  I love that it’s as big as he is!  I love this entire series as we rolled the ball back and forth!

These last two are my favorites!

Thank you guys!  You are such a fun, awesome family!  I wish you all the best with all of the upcoming trials you have to face…
