Mom & Son

I was visiting with a good friend, she was kind enough to let me photograph her perfect little boy. This is one of my favorite photos. The pure joy that both mom and son expressed in the company of one another was uplifting and hopeful in millions of ways. It continually impresses me that a child can have the ability to bring such joy into the world, that a smile alone can change a moment, a day, a lifetime for the better. The magic of it all is that it is not because of something the child knowingly does, it is from something much deeper and profound than action, it’s something that only comes with the innocence and beauty of being young.
