  • Birgitta

    Birgitta

    Fantastic! I think it’s awesome how you take the time for your son. :)
    The majority of my friends are photographers and I’m used to them simply
    snapping their work, and that’s that. This is so time consuming! You put
    your heart into it and it shows. :) You managed to catch that perplexed look
    many babies have so well. (I haven’t forgotten about the drawing by the way.
    I am SO gonna redo it! ;)
