Nine months in the making - part 11

Over a year ago, I embarked in a photography project in which I wanted to document a baby's first year through photography. So I wrote a post in our local community on google plus.
Shahy and Haythem responded and the rest is history. :)

Their beautiful baby girl Haya turned one today and I was fortunate to be on holidays, so we spent a relaxing afternoon at a beautiful park.
It was the last shoot for the project and the year, so I would like to thank Shahy and Haythem for being part of the project. May you continue to enjoy this beautiful journey that is parenthood :)

Amazing what can be achieved when you dare greatly. - ("Daring greatly" by Brené Brown)

Beyond the alphabet

You are on your way

To a future

That although unknown

Is full of dreams

And hope

The pieces of a puzzle

Are scattered

Still being made

They will come together

In chunks, step by step

There are gaps

Many gaps

In your learning

But you have arrived

And you are showing up

We'll be there for you

In good and bad

Both must co-exist

But you will find your way

Just like we did
