Do you think baby will be a girl or boy?

Special Moment

This weekend I got to be on the other side of the camera and it was awesome. I was a bit apprehensive going in only because even though I photograph people on a very regular basis I wasn't exactly sure what to do...thankfully I have an incredible photographer friend named Kelly (http://www.kellygemmell.com) who managed to capture some really special moments for us.

It's coming up to October and as most of you know that's a very reflective month for us. Our first little man was born, and passed away due to a heart condition at the beginning of October 2006. I wanted to include him in our photos somehow and when I was going through the things we have of his I knew exactly how I wanted it done. So when we arrived for our session today I mentioned the idea and off we went. Kel and I set up the picnic scene and she captured what is quite possibly my favourite image...a moment that I will never forget...Jack having a picnic with Zachary's teddy. While she was snapping Jack was talking away to the bear, smiling and chatting, I hid it well but I was definitely crying.

Kelly thank you SO much for capturing that incredible moment for us. It means so much to Matt and I to have a photo that includes both our boys together in some way and this is exactly what I wanted. You did an amazing job and made being on the other side of the camera a great experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And now...the image that made me cry the second I saw it:



Much Love

Matt & Nik, I'm convinced that Zack has been looking over Jack since the the day he was born and that he'll always be doing so.
I'm equally convinced that Jack knows he has a big brother to look up to.
You are great parents and you'll raise great kids.

An absolutely beautiful photo that celebrates two very special little boys and the wonderful love that surrounds them. A beautiful idea Nik, captured by a talented photographer!
