About one year ago, another mom at my son’s preschool was pregnant with her third daughter. I invited her to call me when the baby was born so we could get some cool newborn images. Without going into too much detail of a very long, story, the mom ended up, still pregnant, in a coma which lasted a couple of months. All of us at the school were in shock and so worried about the family. Then one day out of the blue I received a phone call from this mom saying that they were home from the hospital and that she wanted to come in for a session with the new baby. When she came in and told me about the ordeal she and her family had gone through, it truly touched my heart. At this point, the baby was having some medical issues and they were very concerned about her. We did the session, see here, and I said to her, “Just imagine how different she will be when we do her one-year photo.” I’m not sure this mom could see beyond the next day after what she had gone through, but we stayed in touch and I’m happy to report that baby Molly is doing really well.
Well, this morning I got to photograph her for her one-year portrait. She was such a joy to photograph; so alert and smiley. Her mom even told me that she recently took her first steps. For all this beautiful child has gone through, she is nothing short of a miracle and I feel so honored they’ve asked me to be a part of their amazing family.
) again, AMAZING photographs, so beautful.
