Dear Grayson,
I met you and your parents last week when you were just 5 days old. With open arms, your parents welcomed me into your home and we chatted about the creation of your nursery, child birth, our lives...and of course, you. The night before was a little rough for everyone and while they had planned to be in the pictures with you they decided that instead of getting ready for the camera that they would rest up instead. Throughout the session there was a couple of snack breaks and I couldn't help but snap a couple of pictures of them taking care of you. It was too perfect not to and I knew you would want to look back at pictures and see for yourself what life looked like that first week home. There was a profound sense of love that echoed through your room as your parents moved around you as effortlessly as the earth moves around the sun. At one point, your mom sat down to feed you in the most perfect blue and white chair next to your crib and I snapped a picture of you both. When I showed your dad the image he looked up at your mom in awe and said, "Wow Amy, you look so beautiful." The most simple words but man did he know the most perfect thing to say to your mom because she looked up at him and they both grinned ear to ear at each other and then of course, back down at you. As an outsider, I was amazed at their unconcealed sense of devotion and adoration for one another and for you. I can only imagine everything they thought they knew about love, life, and one another will never be the same again.
Signed,
A photographer who was moved by how perfect your parents are for you.
