I waited a long time to be a Mama. Looking back over our journey to become a family, I'm glad the Lord made us wait as long as we did. If we hadn't looked to the Lord and waited, we wouldn't have our little Lilah.
And I believe all that waiting has made me appreciate every single tiny little detail of being a mama.
Every single day is my day, another day with my beautiful girl. I couldn't be happier.
On a day like today, I could never forget the mother that carried my daughter for nine months and gave birth to her. And God, who entrusted her to us, to love and cherish.
Being a mother is one of the highest salaried jobs, the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

Beautiful mama / daughter portraits! Great snapping, Colin, and great creative direction, Jill! I love how the red / brown of your hair picks up on the red / brown of your boots, the brick and the bench in the background. The colours are all so rich in these photos.
