Last week I had an opportunity to photograph perhaps the happiest baby I've ever seen in my life and her incredibly sweet mother. Yes, I can say "incredibly sweet mother" because I'm lucky to be know for myself because we are friends. She really is incredibly kind. Her adorable little girl was really full of smiles, her purity easy to see. 

Since I'm not the best with words please see how I see the tender relationship between the mother & her precious child via my photography. P.S. The last is not the least. It's my favorite picture :).

Some of you may already know that I've fallen in love with the double exposure technique. I love it so much because it allows me to give more meaning into a photograph which I am creating. Double exposure photos help me speak my mind with more expression while also more concisely. Verbal expression has always been difficult for me, but in contrast I've always loved the forms of expression such as dance and photography so much. It allows me to truly express myself without using any words. 

So, this image was inspired by this photo that I saw on Pinterest. When I saw it, the simplicity and beauty of it immediately captured me and I knew that I had to try creating something similar to it myself. I would try to describe it, but again, explaining  is something that I'm actually quite bad at. Let me just describe to you that this photo was created using my husband's arm (on the right) and mine on the left. It may mean one thing to me, but maybe it can mean something different, something personal to you.
