Blessings {Houston Family Photography}

I am continually amazed at the Lord. His graciousness and sovereignty are overwhelming at times.

I was contacted by Jenny, the mother of Ryder and aunt of Coy, to take pictures of these two cuties. Meeting this family has turned out to be a blessing for me in so many ways.

I first heard about Coy when I was about five months pregnant with Campbell. Someone sent me the link to a site to pray for this little man, who had been born at 23 weeks gestation. Having just started to feel my own tiny baby move around inside me, it hit me pretty hard to see this precious, extremely tiny baby fighting the fight of his life. Since then, I have followed along as his mother has chronicled his progress. Obviously God has worked mightily in the life of this little miracle. He is now a walking, thriving 18 month-old little boy. It truly was a gift for me to meet him and experience the power of God's healing.

Currently, Coy's mother is pregnant with his little sister. She is on hospitalized bedrest and from what I heard she and baby are doing wonderfully, praise God! Coy's sweet Aunt Jenny wanted to have some pictures taken in part to cheer up his mama, who is missing so badly being with him every day!

Isn't he precious?

The other blessing of this session has been my new friendship with Ryder's mama. There is something so God about meeting someone you just know you are supposed to be friends with. She is a joy. (We also have our plans for a future love match between Campbell and Ryder. Campbell even kept saying Ry-Ry after a playdate the other day!).
