I wish I felt more like writing...but the truth is that there is so much going on that I don't know where to begin. I know God is in control of it all so I try to keep a positive head. As a photographer I have photographed joys and pains in the last few months. I have done several maternity sessions and a few births...some happy, some sad. The saddest most heart wrenching session I have ever done was in September. My friend had known for a very long time that her precious Vivian would not live to grow up and become a young woman. She wouldn't get to see her take her first steps or celebrate her first birthday. We all prayed that God would give them time with thier baby once she was born and He did. Vivian lived 15 hours, and in those 15 hours she lived an entire lifetime. We heard her sing, we saw her smile, she met all her the people who love her. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. When I look back at her precious pictures I realize WHY I do what I do. I helped a family have memories of their beautiful precious baby. I have put together an album for her parents...here are several of the pages I did. Vivian's parents asked that I share her story. Vivian was born with a condition called anacephaly.. it's a neural tube defect where the brain does not completely form. Here are images of precious Vivian Marie...
