Nine years ago today, I found myself in a hospital in New York City holding my first baby boy.  My entire world changed in that moment.  I found my path in life with this little baby.  Soon after his birth, my husband and I packed our overpriced apartment, I said goodbye to Graduate School at NYU, and we moved back home to raise our little family.

 

Of all the gifts I have ever recieved in life.  He is one of the greatest.  This precious little boy was the start of my beginning.  It was he who inspired my love of photography.  It was he who allowed me to follow my dreams.  I am forever grateful for that.  

 

Today, I celebrate Austin and his ninth birthday.  I don't feel old enough to have a nine year old!  But I do, and we adore him.  He is an amazing child with a heart of gold.  Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!
