Babies having babies

Chris and I had so much fun capturing these moments of little Gabe Henry ... and his parents. Think about it - Gabe can be carried around, hugged, kissed, oggled and pampered. What more could anyone want?

All too soon baby turns into boy and one day mom and dad will carry him for the last time on their hip.

Boy turns to teen and one day he'll want to spend more of his time with his buddies.

Teen turns to young man and falls in love and it begins all over again.

Quickly, in the blink of an eye life happens.

I believe that we should carry the babies as long as we can, make them our best friends and love who they love as deeply as they do.

After all that's what life is all about...
