I love to capture the intimacy between a mother and her newborn baby. The way she's holding her daughter, the little smile her face - it just warms my heart!

Redheads should always wear green :-) I am so happy this mom trusted me and my vision. And this image turns out to be one of her favorites, too.

From all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you!

When I read this quote I knew instantly that I wanted to capture an image with some big man's hands and the tiny little head of a newborn. To make it more dramatic, I decided to go for a dark and moody edit.
