This photo was taken before I took my senior portraits, in the lobby as I was talking to my baby cousin. This photo was taken after the baby woke up, he was not having the best time, but then he was happy. The picture only says so much, but the more you look at it the more joy you see. The purity of the smile, the joy in the contagious laughs. This brings joy as it is such a bright photo, knowing that behind the scenes everyone around us was smiling. This baby looked completely different a month ago, he was very small, and never smiled. He was prayed for and brought back up. This smile isn’t just a smile, but a sign of hope, a sign of relief, a sign of joy. He really does deserve the world, and I hope he gets it, he is very loved and now will do nothing but smile.
