The Miracle of Birth

Through twists and turns of fate, my best friend and I have now known each other for almost 20 years.  Our lives have remained intertwined throughout high school, college, multiple moves, and marriage.  We try to get together every year for an adventure to stay connected despite our separate lives.  This year's adventure has been the greatest yet... a baby.  I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to be in Tucson as my friend gave birth to her first child.  It was a privilege to document her baby belly and the labor and delivery with my camera, giving them photographs to treasure of this very special time in their lives.  Congratulations, my friends, on your perfect little miracle!

forever to have your heart go walking on the outside of your body."
