The Details

Today I’m honored to share a newborn session that is close to my heart. It’s the newborn session of Baby Laurel, a perfect little girl who I believe came into this world to bring great joy, peace, and hope to big brother Colin and their parents at just the right time. Laurel arrived just a short time after her brother Brendan left this world far too early for anyone to ever possibly understand. I was so honored and touched when his mother reached out to let me know they were expecting again and that they wanted me to document this new life.

I first met Laurel’s family for a maternity session just before her brother Brendan was born and I’ve followed their story ever since. Brendan was born right around the same time our niece entered our lives, so when I heard of Brendan falling ill, I couldn’t help but empathize with his family. I only met Brendan once, but I’ll never forget his sweet face and how tightly he clung to his little white Lambie. My memory of him will always serve as a reminder to hold on tightly to those we love the most and to cherish all the special moments we have with them.

Thank you to Laurel’s family for allowing me to share her story and most importantly, to be a part of documenting this next chapter in your lives.

Daddy couldn’t be there on the day of Laurel’s newborn session but I managed to take some images of Mom and this is one of my favorites.
