Legacy of Love


Wow!  It's February 13!  I have not kept up with this at all!
October through December was really busy! Lots of photography jobs which I praise God for, especially because Randy's job went to 4 days a week, which meant a 20% reduction in pay!
But God being God provided the whole time.  We never missed a bill.  Yep it was tight, it still is, but we are still able to pay our bills.

I met a wonderful family who lost a little boy at 27 1/2 weeks gestation.  His name was Max and is now with Jesus.  Her, her husband and a friend ( who is also wonderful ) of hers who lost two babies ( a boy and a girl) are starting an organization called Legacy Of Love.  It is an organization to promote awareness of the issues faced by families who experience pregnancy and infant loss and provide resources to aid in positive grief resolution.  In addition, Legacy Of Love Foundation Inc. offers outreach services to families while enduring subsequent pregnancy after infant loss.

I am joining them in their efforts by providing free photography sessions and a free portrait to celebrate their new arrival.  It is part of their Hope and Celebration Kits which are given to families who have had a subsequent birth.  I am there for them in any other way I can help too!

I recently photographed a family who had lost a little boy.  They recently had another little boy and I had the privilege to photograph him and his family.  Let me tell you what an absolute blessing this has been!  And what an incredible story the Mom has.  Her baby is in the photograph I posted.

Take care!
