Angel Jayden

Last weekend I was camping at Silverfalls with my family and parents, it was a lot of fun and I have tons of pictures to go through. I finished the last round of senior pictures that I did for a local boy and will eventually get to the camping trip.

Early this week, I was contacted by a mother who gave birth to twins (a boy and girl) almost 4 weeks ago. The little boy has a fatal diagnosis and did not have much time left. I made an appointment to visit the next day and do a portrait session for them. I met Jayden and his sister in their home, they were so precious and sweet. Jayden only had hours left when I spent time with him. At times during the session, I thought he was slipping away. I felt so heartbroken for the family, it was really hard to look at the photos when I put them up on my computer - probably the hardest it has ever been. Jayden did pass away later on that evening, I can't imagine what they must be feeling right now.

Here are a few of my best images.....
