1 year ago Carter was born. Stillborn. To this wonderful girl Ashlee and her man. Ashlee was full term, and due in a few days with her first baby, when she went in for an ultrasound. They couldn’t find a heartbeat. I was going to photograph the birth of Carter. I got the phone call from her Mom telling me what had happened. I cried all the way to the hospital just after she gave birth. I waited on the floor in the hallway with her mom, dad, sister, brother and friend. This family is to say the least, amazing. Her mom is the epitome of strength, endurance, service and love. And her Dad, he’s just one big pillar of strength and then mush inside. So loving and kind. She’s a lucky girl to have so much support.
It was a truly sacred experience. Ash loves him…she kept talking to him, kissing him and snuggling up to him. I have no doubt he felt everyone of those sweet words she whispered and every soft touch to his tiny hands and face. Thank you Ash for letting me meet your sweetness baby. He is watching you from heaven.
Makes me so incredibly thankful. Thankful for all I’ve been given, and for all of you who have made such an impact on my life. Thank you.
Ash is now pregnant with her 2nd, also a little boy. I’m so happy for her. This year I’m sure has not been an easy one for her and her family. I’ve posted these images once before, a year ago right after he was born. I wanted to give Ashlee the chance to feel the love we have for her and her sweet baby boy. Please leave a comment so she can feel the love and support, and so she knows her baby hasn’t been forgotten.
