Simply Stunning



For those of you who know me, you'll know that I have a love for painting in oil. I haven't painted in a few years because I've been too busy, but after working with this beautiful expectant mother, my heart longs to pick up a paintbrush. The red backdrop, the simple gauze draped around her body, her black hair and stunning beauty just take my breath away.

As I took each photo, I was brought close to tears. The symbolism in my maternity photos is so beautiful. New life is a simple miracle which happens everyday, but its significance is overwhelming. In a universe filled with chaotic noise, the brilliant melody of a mother carrying a new child brings peace, hope and comfort.
