It was a true joy\u00a0to capture this special time for\u00a0Brittni & Chris. First a maternity session at Deer Lake Park to document the growing (but still tiny) baby bump.<\/p>\n

Then bump becomes baby… baby Jayden. It was so fun to spend a morning with the new parents, they are 100% smitten with their new little\u00a0delight!<\/p>\n

This poem meant so much to me when I first became the mother of a son, it took a long time before I could read with a dry eye… for you Brittni.<\/p>\n

“My baby boy and me”<\/p>\n

It’s three am, they’re all asleep, and no one is here to see.
\nAs we rock slowly back and forth, my baby boy and me.
\nHis little hand is feather light tucked up against my chin.
\nI hold his tiny hand in mine, and stroke his baby skin.
\nThe house about us creaks and groans, the clock hands creep around.
\nHe snuggles closer to me still, and makes his baby sounds.
\nI love these quiet hours so much, and cherish every one.
\nStore memories up inside my heart for lonely nights to come.
\nAll too soon he’ll be grown up, his need for Mama gone.
\nBut until then I still have time for kisses and for song.
\nTime for quiet hours like this with him cuddled in my arms.
\nWhere I wish he’d always stay protected, safe and warm.
\nAnd yet I know the day will come when his tiny little hand,
\nwill be bigger than my own. He’ll grow to be a man.
\nBut until then he’s mine to love with no one here to see.
\nAs we rock slowly back and forth, my baby boy and me.<\/p>\n
