“There is no greater heaven than the heart of a loving mother
She takes care of you when you are still in her womb.
She nurtures you after you are born.
She hurts when you fall,
She celebrates when you make your first steps.
She is the only person who genuinely cares about you.
She loves you as she loves herself.
Her heart is your true paradise.”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

“When a woman is pregnant she becomes a lioness with the will of a dragon. She becomes a goddess of beauty with the colors of the rainbow. She becomes the mother of new life.”

Olivia & Sylvia ➳ Lifestyle Session /  by Abigail Smith

The first principles of the camera were written down around between 470-390 BC and belong to the Chinese philosopher Mozi, he referred to this device as a “collecting plate” or charmingly … a “locked treasure room”.

The camera or the concept has been around for an astonishingly long time and painstakingly perfected, today basically everyone has a camera with them at any given moment, why I wonder? I think as humans we’ve always wanted to capture, freeze in time, relive and share the memories of our experiences that which is most important and precious to us. I cannot think of a better use of this incredible invention than to freeze in time the ages and stages of the ones we most love.

Capturing these little treasures just going about their every day little lives made for one of my favourite session ever… how can it be work when you’re having so much fun 😜I like to think of mom and dad looking back on these photos years from now and feeling their hearts swell with love remembering their girls at this precious age.
