A very special session! {Southern Maine Photographer}

My affiliation with NILMDTS (www.nilmdts.com) brought me to this family a year ago. It was a sad time as they were mourning the loss of their baby girl, but there was a need for my services and I always leave hoping the photographs I take will bring peace. This time it came full circle when they called me the day before induction with this beautiful little boy. I told her to call me when they were ready for my visit and yesterday I was the first visitor of the day!

Amy shared with me that the photographs I took of her daughter are treasures to her now. She also told me that she made little dresses for the hospital to give to other babies who pass too soon. She described them as little white, wedding/baptism style dresses and my heart just melted. Volunteers are needed in many ways for families who suffer this kind of loss. Dress makers are one of them!!

I am also on call for another family who suffered loss a year ago. I will be photographing the birth of their next child and I am beyond thrilled with that honor too!! I'll keep you all posted on that chapter!!

I'm feeling incredibly blessed for these relationships!



I asked dad to put his finger in his son's hand and when he did, the baby pulled it closer and seemed so content! Makes my heart smile!

Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing that, Kelly. One of my dearest friends lost a baby and I know that service you provided is something you cannot put into words put a price on. I'm so very happy for this beautiful family and the pictures are lovely, as always.
