Noah

Not quite a year ago, Dorene and I were photographing Michelle and André’s wedding. They left the reception under sparkles, in a big limo, with huge smiles on their faces, promising their friends and family a baby was next on their agenda… And here is Noah! It was already such an honor and a pleasure to witness André and Michelle’s vows of love for eternity, and now it filled me joy to watch them care for their adorable baby. It’s always a wonder to be able to recognize parents features in a new born face, and I’m siding with the rest of the world to say little Noah is Andre’s delayed twin.

    Arielle, we LOVE the pictures you took of our little man, Noah! You really captured some priceless moments with his adorable facial expressions. Now the entire world can see the striking resemblance between a father and his son. We give God the honor and praise for blessing us with such a wonderful son and we also thank Him for blessing us with such a talented photographer. Thanks again for your time and patience. We'll be sure to share these with our friends and family.
    With lots of love,
    Michelle, Andre', and Noah

    I love the second one, the fifth form last, and the last. Those are my favorites. You have another Rochelle that commented, which is neat because I don't meet many. I made it to Missouri!

    Michelle and Andre,
    We honor and praise God for such a handsome son that he has given you all. I am available to babysit if I can pry him out of Betty's arms. He will fit in nicely with my football team.
    Love,

    #2 is my favorite! I had to laugh out loud! I can only imagine the first line of For Always is not only appropriate for the two of you but now for Noah as well... "Remembering so well the day that I met you..." Our God is THE awesome God, isn't He?! Only a God like that could create such a such beautiful baby and place him in just the right family! Just missing one thing... pics w/ mommy! :-) Can't wait to see them! Congratulations to you both!

    Arielle,
    You are simply amazing!!

    Glory be to the Almighty ! I should say Arielle is one of the best ! . Little Noah is so presious, and will cheerish these shots when he opens his eyes and grows up. (SMILE) I join both Mother and Father in thanking GOD for such a wounderful Son. I know he will stay healthy and live up to his name; grow up and do greet things. ( Congradulations )
    PS miss seeing you all at church. This was a wounderful idea, and I thank you for opening; sharing this present you all keep rapped up for 9 months.
    Love yall

    What a precious child, I love the expressions on his face! You caught him in some great poses along with his proud Daddy!

    How SWEET! A Fathers love for his child is a beautiful gift and opportunity to witness. Noah aka "AJ-Andre Jr." is blessed to have such sweet parents who lives have been blessed and love has been strengthened by his arrival. Enjoy every moment, give plenty hugs, messy kisses, and take pics every day! The Hall family is adorable!

    These are the most beautiful photos. I have a feeling that even though Noah didn't wake up, that these won't be the last pictures.

    OMG! He is a splitting image of his dad with a sprinkle of you! You have a beautiful family and may God continue to bless you all. I love all the pictures but the last one is just very striking and you should display that one in your office. Your eyes are saying see what God gave me...?
    Absolutely wonderful blessing!

    How on earth did you get him to balance his head on his hands? And then make such a cute face? Wonderful!

    Michelle and Andre' congratulations on your marriage and your precious little one. George and I can tell you both how special, challenging and awesome it is to be parents. Of course we are now grandparents - thought we were too young to be grandparents - Noah looks just like his Dad.
    May the Lord watch over your precious bundle as he grows in His will. Thanks for sharing this moment with us. Your photographer is talented and amazing. We wish you the Lord's richest blessing as you walk down the path of parenthood. Everyday will be filled with a special blessing.
    Love In Christ Alone
