a bird sings...{ny - long island child/baby photographer}

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."

Maya Angelou

I recently found this quote and I loved it. It reminds me of children and childhood. Simplicity. It is nice to remember to just sing because it is in you. What ever your song maybe. Try it today...it is like a breath of fresh air! ♥

And...speaking of little birds who sing because he has a song...I would like to introduce Mr. M. He is such a handsome lil' man with a gentle spirit. He was amazing. Thank you to both him and his sweet Mommy too! I had such a fun little session. Happy 1st Birthday!!! xo
