Daniela

This baby was born early this morning, she is an angel (NowILayMeDownToSleep.org). When I arrived at the hospital, the room was filled with family members and heartbreak. The mother didn't want to hold her baby for any photos. I understand this because it is so hard to want to hold a child she will never take home. It's very common. However, as I got into the photo session and other family members allowed me to take photos of them with this angel, this mother was more willing. I got her to hold her baby despite the pain she was struggling with.

Perhaps the most heartbreaking photo I took was of this sweet innocent boy with gorgeous big eyes.
