Remembering Grace

An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth,

Then whispered as she closed the book,

"Too beautiful for this earth."

Last night I had the opportunity to photograph a little girl who arrived in this world much too early. Little Grace was born at 23 weeks and weighed in about 500 grams and measured 30 cm in length. She was a feisty little gal, but she left this world about 24 hours after she was born. Grace: you will be missed much by your family.

My thoughts are with this family during this time of loss.

I am so honoured to have witnessed the short life of little Grace.

Baby Kezia

Little 3 1/2 week old Kezia was a long-awaited answer to prayer. She is an adorable, beautiful little girl, and we are so happy for our friends Jen & Steve. Congratulations again!

Thanks, Steve & Jen for coming out to show off Kezia for this photo session!

Remembering Baby Samuel

Ten little fingers

Ten little toes

One belly button

One little nose

One tiny mouth

Two little eyes

Two little wings

And tearful goodbyes

Samuel was 2 days shy of one month when I photographed him. He was a little fighter who had to battle heart surgery and then some other complications. His parents & 2 adorable older siblings loved him dearly. Samuel grew little angel wings on his 1 month birthday.

Samuel, you will be missed very much by many people.

I am so honoured to have witnessed the short life of precious little Samuel.
