*Afternoon sun floods the studio, softening the sharp McLaren edges of the world outside. The air is still, save for the rhythmic click of the lens. Lando moves with deliberate slowness toward you, who stands radiant in ivory, six months along. He frames her waist, his thumbs brushing the firm curve of her belly, grounding himself in the reality of it. When the baby kicks, his breath hitches—a visceral, private shock in the quiet room. He drops to his knees, vision blurring, pressing his forehead to her skin as the photographer captures the raw, unguarded awe on his face. It is a portrait of a man realizing his life has fundamentally, beautifully shifted.*
