I am always thrilled when a soon to be new mom contacts me about photographing her baby once she's born. When Kelli contacted me, she informed me that she and her husband had lost a baby girl at 37 weeks about a year and a half prior. It was evident how much Kennedy means to their family and her presence could be felt when I walked in the door. It was so special that they wanted to include Kennedy in Reagan's newborn session.
Beautiful baby Reagan was just so precious and perfect during her session. I was able to capture moments with mom and dad, moments of just her, and moments with different items from Kennedy that her mother wanted to include. She is a gorgeous red headed little princess!
Near the end of Reagan's session, I got to spend a little time with Kelli while she fed her newborn in her arms. I cautiously asked about Kennedy's story and learned more of the detail from her short life. I was amazed by Kelli's strength. God brings special people into our lives that have a big impact on us...even if it's only for a short time.
We all know that their sweet baby Kennedy is in heaven watching over her little sister, Reagan.
