Hi Sweet Friend!


Photographs capture more than faces—they capture feelings. And with Chris, the feeling was pure joy, wrapped in love and the comfort of his mom’s embrace. Chris was 17 months old—bright-eyed, curious, and full of that pure, uninhibited joy only little ones can show. He had the sweetest smile, the kind that made you smile right back without even thinking. But if there was one thing he truly loved, it was water. Splashing, laughing, reaching for each little ripple like it was a new discovery.

And right there beside him, every step of the way, was his mom. He didn’t just love her—he needed her close, like his little world wasn’t quite right unless she was within arm’s reach. If he splashed, he’d look back to see her smiling. If he laughed, it was because she was part of the moment. The way he clung to her, so content and secure, was the purest picture of love.

These images aren’t just photographs. They’re little glimpses of love, joy, and the beautiful spirit Chris brought into the world. It was an honor to capture them, and they’ll forever hold a special place in my heart.

To Chris’s family—thank you for letting me be part of this moment. Your little boy's light will never fade.


Talk Soon,

Christina
