Compassionate Photography for Loss Families
Some pregnancies and births don’t go as hoped. Some babies leave this world far too soon. In these moments of unimaginable heartbreak, I believe that every family deserves the chance to honor their baby's life with love, dignity, and remembrance.
I offer free birth and newborn photography to families experiencing stillbirth, infant loss, or who are welcoming a baby with a fatal diagnosis.
This service is offered with tenderness, respect, and complete privacy—because every baby matters, and every family’s story deserves to be held with care.
Why It Matters
Photographs can’t ease the pain, but they can offer a way to remember, to honor, and to hold onto moments that are otherwise fleeting. Many loss families find that having these images—however painful—can become a vital part of the grieving and healing process.
I am there to document:
-
Your baby’s birth, however long or short their life may be
-
The love between you and your child
-
The beauty and strength of your connection
-
The quiet, sacred time you spend together
These images are yours to keep forever, at no cost, no matter the circumstances.
A Gentle, Respectful Approach
I work carefully and quietly in your space—whether at home, in the hospital, or birth center. I follow your lead and your wishes, offering support without intrusion.
You will never be asked to pose or perform. This is not about creating art. It’s about honoring life, no matter how brief, and holding space for your love and your loss.
How to Request This Service
I am so sorry you're in the position to even look into this service; but it would be my honor to capture the memories of your precious baby. If you are experiencing a pregnancy or birth involving loss or a life-limiting diagnosis, or if you are a provider or loved one reaching out on a family’s behalf, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Fill out the "Get in touch" box below and start the message with the words LOSS FAMILY.
