The weight of my love...

There's no magic number for the weight of your love. There's only the perfect number. And that perfection is part of a complex equation formulate between two people in love.

Nicu, 1 month

My little man, Nicolae (Nicu), is one month today. My, how the time has flown. If time continues to fly at this pace, I'm afraid he'll be off to school before I know it. And then in high school when I wake up the next day. And then, I'll have that emptiness in my heart because he'll be off getting married and starting a life of his own. He's a ray of light in my and Lisa's life. Happy Birthday, sweet Nicu.

Expressive love

Nicu had his first "official" shoot a couple of weeks ago. It's always so special when that special client is your own son. Amazing feeling. I love what this photo signifies. Not only is he loved beyond any expressive emotion, but his love is also being expressed to us, or in this case, Lisa's hand. Radiate love.

Happy Father's Day

I'm not sure I will every be able to express the depths of the sacrifices my father has made for me. My brother and I finally had the opportunity to hear the full story of his escape from communist Romania and we've never been the same since. The man is beyond remarkable. Hearing that story reminds me of what being a father is all about: the love and dedication to your child. Thank you, Dad, for your sacrifice and love for me and our family. You are truly a legend.

A Grandfather's loving touch...

What people have always said about a sleeping baby is true. There's nothing more calming. Maybe it's because they feel safe and therefore they allow their body to relax, knowing they're in safe hands. Loving hands. Hands that will only care for them. I love this image of my father holding Nicu when he was only six or seven days old. Fully at peace with the world. May he always know that kind of peace in his life.

Nicolae Cristian is welcomed home!

Today I received my film back from my son's birth and his first week with us and my family while they were in town. It's exciting to relive those moments of the past, but also to see how much Nicu has grown in just two weeks. It's amazing what happens at this age. The photo above was taken when he was four days young.

Since there are many photos I'd like to share, what I thought I would do is post one, or a few, per day. I feel like that will keep things fresh and photos of Nicu moving along at a great pace.

I really look forward to opening my personal life up to you all, especially a part of my life that is very meaningful. And part of my life that is part of me. My better part.

More to come. Thanks to Harold for being such a boss.
