Carrie – Beautiful Mother

Last August, my niece Carrie gave me the privilege of photographing her in her last days of waiting for my grand-niece Charlotte Beverly to make her appearance.

We had a delightful two days of time together with Carrie and Terry, her husband and Charlotte’s father. Of the many photos taken that weekend, this one caught my eye.

I’m learning and pushing myself to grow in skill at capturing the essence of what I see. Carrie’s beauty is far beyond my skills then and now. I’m hoping you can see in this photo, the joy and glow of being a new mother that I saw that day.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My challenge is to capture what is deeply a part of that which is photographed and translate it in full meaning to the viewer.

We each bring much with us when we look at a photograph. I hope what I have brought to you in this photograph speaks of beauty, hope, joy and expectant fulfillment.
