Snuggles at Home with Baby Deven

It's there all the time. The love parents feel for their children. It's in every thing they do. Holding bananas, washing little hands, splashing in the pool. There is pure beauty in the million ways we care for our little ones. And it makes my heart sing.

Deven turned one at the beginning of May and he came for a visit for Memorial Day. You may recognize his parents from their beloved portraits and his newborn portraits. This family cares so deeply for each other and it's a pure joy to witness.

Happy birthday little man. May your life be filled with wonder.

Keyvan & Christine ~ Beloved ~ Anthem Love Photographer

He was the President of her dorm. She was an incoming freshman. By Halloween he was her boyfriend and they've been together since then. Keyvan and Christine are two of the nicest people I know. Their love for each other has weathered many obstacles but through it all they have remained steadfast partners.

I never had the opportunity to meet Keyvan's father. He died just after Keyvan graduated from college and he and Christine have been the heads of the family since then. But this is how I imagine Keyvan dad looked. There is something about this picture that really speaks to me of Keyvan's ancestry and strength.

They have so much fun together. One minute snuggling and the next, Keyvan goes Packman on Christine.

Through all the challenges these two have faced, they always come back to each other and the loving and supportive foundation of their relationship. It is so clear when he looks at her, when she looks at him, that no matter what life brings they are so deeply connected that they will be able to weather it together. They are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your love with me.
