"Little boys come in all shapes and sizes,
Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,
With misshapen halos and mischievous grins,
Small dirty faces, and sweet, sticky chins."
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis
This is my nephew Tyler. He is such a charming young man. Full of life and laughter. When you look at this smile on his face you can't even imagine that just a couple of months ago he was in a life changing accident where he lost one of his legs. He has kept his head held high and I know soon enough he will give up his wheels and be running around with the rest of the bunch.
"A One-year-old child is so many things --
A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings,
A hugger of Teddies,
A sweet sleepyhead,
And someone to dream for in bright years ahead..."
On this beautiful Sunday evening I had the privilege to photograph this lovely family. Many photographs were taken, but the photos below tell you a story about this family. It was a joy to spend a couple hours with them. This is what family is all about. Thank you for choosing me to capture these moments for you so that you may be able to cherish them forever.
