I confessed it to my husband. “I have fallen in love with another man.”  All it took was one look into his big, soulful eyes and I was smitten.  His name is Ayo and he is 2 months old.  His mom is my dear friend and former Zumba instructor (allow me to define “Zumba” with a grain of salt here, because her class was so.much.more. than that)  She moved to Maryland a year ago and just when I thought I cried all the tears I could possibly cry from her leaving, she told me that she was going to become a Momma.

After 2 months of anticipation following his birth, I finally got to meet the little man in person when they traveled to NH for a recent visit. It was love at first sight.  He was incredibly alert and awake throughout our entire newborn portrait session.  It wasn’t until I packed up my camera for the day that he decided to crash.

In my arms.

My ovaries still ache.

It’s not hard to see why…

While it was a dark and dreary day outside, but we managed to find and harness some beautiful light.  It’s there if you know how to look for it.

Mom, Natasha, has a smile that can light up a whole room – made even bigger than I thought possible by this little man here.

Dearest Ayo, you stole my heart and blessed my lens with one of the cutest little faces I’ve ever photographed.  I can’t wait to watch you grow.  Preferably in person.  So let’s start working on moving back here, you hear? 😉
