Newborn, Baby and Wedding Photography in Melbourne :: Kristen Cook {The Blog}

You were longed for, deeply – before you could be held.
Sweet little friend, your beauty extends longer than your eyelashes.
And now you are here, and so loved.
What lucky stars I sleep under to have spent such a glorious day with you.

Miss Viola: Without our heart song, we can’t be truly penguin, can we?
Class: No.
Miss Viola: But, my dears, it’s not something I can actually teach you. Does anybody know why? Anyone? Anyone?
Gloria: You can’t teach it to us, ma’am, because we have to find out heart songs all by ourselves.
Miss Viola: Well done, you.
Gloria: It’s the voice you hear inside, who you truly are.

Ah the glorious lessons that can be learned from children’s movies like ‘Happy Feet’.
In fact, there are always lessons to be learned.
We are born with a heart song, we just sometimes struggle on that journey to find it.
And it may not be the one you thought it was.
But I promise, when you do, you feel like this…

The warm Spring breeze is calling, my friend.
Go to that place that you go to dream.

“We never dreamed you’d be so beautiful…
In all of the times we tried to imagine
every last detail of who you would be,
through all of the nights we spent quietly thinking
of how we would feel
when we first looked at you,
we patiently waited
and silently wondered.
We hoped and we prayed
and we tried to imagine…
but we never dreamed you’d be so beautiful.”
