How do you come up with such innovation--brilliant soul?

I've never seen video so crystal clear and real life before.

laura h. - i didn't doubt it for a second and you prove it over and over again: you are one truly amazing soul with a gift i wish the whole world could appreciate. i watch these movies with the sound all the way up, as if it's really a soundtrack for life, and live in the moments captured so perfectly by you and by michel. my soul sings and flies and dances and rests in that love, bringing healing to sore spirits, hope of a future yet unknown, a future living between my ears, yet to be created. consumed completely and totally by the beauty of life and parenthood and family joy, i remember what is good, what is right, what is. i feel the laughter, the hugs, the kisses. and though not my reality, it is a reality. and for that, i am grateful. for them, i am grateful. for you, for michel, for everyone who seeks to remember, to capture, to create, i am grateful. amazing job, once again. keep on keepin' on you two. this is what it's all about...
