 Photographer Sandra Phipps: “Lucy, our first child, was born last June to two parents unprepared for many things, including the heat wave that overtook Brooklyn, where we live. With only a window fan in our apartment, we decided to temporarily relocate with the baby to my sister’s house in North Georgia. There, in the cool mountain air, we finally settled into a summer of getting to know this new person. All the stress of the last few weeks disappeared the moment Lucy fell asleep on my husband’s chest one afternoon as he lounged on a blanket by the lake. I felt complete happiness in this moment—we were a real family for the first time, resting and enjoying the sweet gravity that brought us all together."
