Couple of weeks ago our friend visited with her mother and her adorable nine months old daughter Naomi.
One foggy afternoon we sat down over a cup of good tea, and while her little girl was happily napping, we had a long and very emotional talk.
She shared her birthing story with me, and how having a child changed her and her life.
She told me how people around her reacted to the big news, and how her ninety-two-year old grandma had never thought she would live to see her great-grandchild being born.
Later on, her own mother join in to talk about her transition from a mom to a grandma, and how arrival of this little girl have brought everyone closer together.
It was an amazing afternoon, filled with tears, laughter and so many good stories,
and it made think about starting my own family, one day…when the time is right…
a new life always brings the family together! hehe i like the embedded music and i think it suits this post :)

i love the format of pictures-words-pictures-words. the final photo of the three generations together felt so satisfying after hearing the story. such a beautiful family! with this post, you captured a lot of joy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful story. I love your pictures of your friend's expression. The yellow tea mug is a really nice prop in the photos. The last photo of the family in BW is a really nice portrait shot.
ReplyDeleteM, So sweet. It isn't every day that you get to hear such personal details of a birth and family - I always treasure that opportunity.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course your photos are beautiful. Are you just loving that new camera? It seems to agree with you;)
