Mireya & David - Maternity
August 7, 2009
Mireya and David are expecting a baby next month. It was a special honor for me that I was invited to capture these moments just before the baby arrives, because Mireya and David are good friends of our’s. They’ve decided to wait until delivery to find out if they’re having a boy or a girl. At first my reaction was, “how impractical! What if their baby boy ends up with a bunch of pink onesies?” However, I slowly realized that their patience in waiting to find out and acceptance with whatever he or she will be is a testament to the kind of parents they are. During the session I asked David if he had a preference towards either gender, and his response was, “Just as long as it’s healthy.” It then struck me that, although modern medicine and technology allow us to look forward to see what lies ahead, the miracle of creating life out of love is a gift - regardless of whichever form it comes in.
I was humbled. Mireya and David, congratulations! Please enjoy these images.
