My Inspiration for Photography

Airyn and Lyndon.
Dolly and Wynon. Princess and Monkey. Honey Bun and Macaroni.
I always say to my family that I must love these kids way too much.
I still remember the day we went up to the hospital to meet Airyn Nora. As funny as it sounds, I immediately fell in love with her lips. They were just too perfect - so pink and plump! I still adore them! Babysitting her since she was five months old has been an amazing opportunity and a gift. I've watched her grow up - and I've grown up with her.
I'll never forget the moment I first laid eyes on Lyndon Caleb.
What a moment....
It was a Sunday morning, they had just arrived at church, and I hadn't seen him yet. Carina placed his little car seat down by her chair and then people took her aside and where congratulating her. I was so excited to see him - but I wasn't expecting to feel what I felt. I knelt down on the floor by his seat and pulled down the little baby blanket a bit to see him. I smiled. He was the most precious, adorable little boy I had ever seen. I put my finger on his hand and his tiny fingers curled around and held onto my finger. I couldn't explain what I felt. But I knew I just loved him so much at that moment, that I started to cry softly to myself. This tiny child, not even my own, had captured my heart and brought joy to my soul. I suppose it was tears of love, tears of joy, tears of wonder.
Airyn and Lyndon have been such joys in my life each time I see them. They used to lay as innocent babies in my arms as I would rock them to sleep and sing them lullabies. Now they come running into my arms with smiles on their faces, yelling "Acho!" (as Lyndon calls me), and wrapping their arms around my neck. Oh I adore them!
