No, no, absolutely. That comes first about what it is about newborns about babies, about new life as as here we are celebrating mother's day that is so important to you. Why did you keep going back to it? I'm a mother myself of two girls who are now thirty one and twenty eight and I think every mother remembers the moment they found out that they were pregnant and the miracle on bay awesomeness is pregnancy and creating new life is just incredible and you know I photographed a lot of pregnant women through my career and just that concept of growing and other human being within your body is is it's a magical really and when you give birth in the first time you see your child and everything that that child represents to you and to your family and to outsiders as well I mean if you when when a newborn baby is in the room it completely changes the whole environment and you see people are invariably smiling and in particular six month as you know I mean everyone just everyone loves babies and but there's so much more to witness what they represent new life and promise and um our eternal chance that new beginnings so that's something that I'm always in order off you know make a newborn babies just done the most perfect thing absolutely especially when there's like I'm gonna step a step off we've got john coming in we can see what what you all are doing over there yeah yeah I'm going to take a plate off that apricot flower which I've got to do it yes um and then when we photographed the cream flower we're going to move the background a little bit um across so it's on the darker side of the background so well you know I think with photo shop sincerely if you have the right ingredients in the beginning which we do have good to go niko here and we shot a flower before he went live you know get a balance of the light on the background and everything to make it not just easier for him but to make it perfectly integrate which I think it's doing you know it's it's really nice to I have a team of people who are working to create thean result for you guys um on a swell is for their own satisfaction so great one more to go and then we'll have two more that will be extras if it isn't no that's cool off just a little bit that's sticking up yeah I've run the left there not this one here e e you don't have a choice but this is probably in there when we changed the lighting before started so that's saying focus way so yes thanks don't change after the crane um say niko the fight and a couple of well they're all of the girls they're pretty much the same place that I just took the last one was in focus let's have it up shoot we're the last ones probably basically we had to pay a lot from the way this is yours here, right?
