I can usually create a page in less than an hour but this one took me close to two and a half. And from the looks of the simple layout, I know that probably surprises you. It surprises me! I have to admit, the intimate photos are so much more difficult for me to work with. I think it's because I am afraid of not doing them justice. This photo, Kelton's hands in mine, is one of those once in a lifetime pictures. His hands are growing and changing so quickly - no longer a baby or even a toddler and in a few years down the road, I know they will have changed so much that I may not even recognize how they used to be which is why this photo is so special - and so emotionally charged for me.

So - even though the page design is simple, the work that is behind it is anything but. I hope you like it.
