Grow

To know her is to know this is a miracle.

I took, ahem, close to two hundred (that's right, 200) frames this morning. I immediately edited 150 at first glance due to focus, light, expression, composition, etc... Left with about fifty, I chose this one because it expresses what mothers feel when they're expecting: light, glowy, tender, serene, protective. (Ah, not including the raging hormones days. Ok, fine, it's what women want to feel.) I added a film grain effect in post-production.

Truly, it was an honor to have had the opportunity to preserve just a fleeting moment of her beautiful twenty-seventh week.
