The story behind the last post is one that makes me teary. Baby Jonathan was the first baby that I photographed about a year ago, when his grandmother contacted me. Jonathan never got to leave the hospital, but was loved beyond words, in a way that I can’t even begin to describe with words. There is NO doubt in my mind that he was with his new baby brother in spirit when this precious new baby entered the world, almost one year later, which to me, is a miracle. This family’s new baby boy was the most happy, smiley newborn baby that I have ever photographed. Ever. He smiled with these quick fleeting true smiles. I have never believed that those precious newborn smiles are “just gas,” I think babies smile because they are loved, perhaps because they have an angel watching over them. Here are some images of Jonathan from a year ago.

And here, precious new baby brother. Suffice it to say that I was elated to hear that they were expecting another baby, I was so honored to photograph this amazing baby.

This is one gorgeous, happy, laid back, loved baby boy. I asked his mom if she was ever able to put him down… and as I expected, the answer was no… not so much. He is just beautiful, and in the images when I look back, he reminds me so much of baby Jonathan. Welcome to the world, sweet new baby.

Just a quick post to let you know that the Milwaukee public radio interview on WUWM on infant bereavement professional photography will be airing in the 10:00 hour today (very soon!) and if you miss it, it will be available to hear online here.

You have to click “enter site” after the new donor page, and you may need to set up how you listen, on the yellow button on the top that says ‘listen.’
