This session was pretty special to me…many of you followed a story on facebook about my best friend who gave birth to a baby girl, Brynna Elizabeth, who sadly passed away 6 days after she was born. This situation was shocking to say the least, and has been horribly painful for so many people, and I am certainly no exception. This was the first newborn session I did after learning about the death of Brynna and I wasn’t sure how I would react to it…would it be a reminder of what was lost? Would I be able to hold it together? I was a little worried about my emotions taking over…
And to my surprise, I found it to be quite therapeutic to hold, cuddle and treasure this precious baby girl. She was beautiful. Healthy. And I found that holding her gave me a small bit of peace during the grief of losing Brynna. I spent extra time just looking at her and being grateful for life. Every baby truly is a gift from God…and this little one is no exception. Thank you so much to mama and grandma for bringing her to see me on that day. It really did give me relief, in those few hours, just being able to be with her…
