New colors

I decided that our living room needed an update. I had hardly noticed that we had started the third month of the year already when my grey, red and brown pillows were still sitting cofortably on our couch. They screamed "Christmas" at me and at some point that just wasn´t funny anymore!
And with the weather being so incredibly lovely and springy (is that even a word? I guess it is now!) I started thinking of what colors I could decorate our living room in.
Now I am a big fan of turquoise and a coolish blue, maybe mixed with green but I decided I wanted to try something new this year (or at least partially new since I threw turquoise and grey in the mix).
I LOVE yellow as a color but could probably never wear it because it would just make me look sick (I unfortunately have that skin tone).
After I had forced let Danny to buy a mustard jacket already I thought I could just as well put some yellow/mustard pillows on our couch (that way he would blend in oh so lovely when he would come home from work. He´d probably be too warm sitting on the couch in his jacket but you gotta do what you gotta do, right!?).


So here´s the result:

Standstill

I stood completely still for a second. I was totally in awe, standing in front of that tiny little person.
She was so small, so fragile and yet so perfectly created.
I hardly dared to breath let alone press down my shutter because I didn´t wanna interrupt her precious sleep.
I was once again reminded, that what I am doing for a living, is actually not "making a living" but to capture memories and moments for others.

Although you might think that I´ve seen and photographed enough babies to get used to it, I never do.
Every.single.time I am reminded of that loving father in heaven, that has such love for us and such hope in humanity to keep creating wonderful, sweet, gentle little babies.
And every time I am thankful, that I am there to witness that love!
