Why a lamb

A friend of mine asked me the other day why we chose to do Easter pictures with a baby lamb this year. My response was that it was something God told us to do. I have wanted to do portrait sessions with a baby lamb for a long time, but we had to wait for the right timing and for God to help make it happen. Easter is about the the crusifixion of Jesus and His rising from the dead. Jesus is called the 'Lamb of God', and the 'Lamb that was slain'. In photographing with a baby lamb, it was more then just a cute spring animal, it signified what the Lord did for us. This is truely an amazing gift of life.
