God allows us to walk beside people in their joys and sorrows.  Several years ago I was asked to photograph the funeral of Jason and Lorene’s precious little baby girl, Chelsea.  This was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to photograph.  As I’ve watched Jason and Lorene over the years they haven’t given up hope.  In fact, I would say their hope and trust in God has grown through the ups and downs they’ve faced.

These days Jason, Lorene, and Camden are experiencing a true JOY that has once again been accompanied with the need to trust God and leave it in His Hands.  This baby is a MIRACLE!  Don’t get me wrong, every child is a miracle, but Jason, Lorene, and Camden have walked through a lot of sorrow and waited a VERY LONG time for this baby!  It’s almost time for his arrival!  Say a prayer that he stays put for a few more weeks!

Jason, Lorene, and Camden, I am beyond happy for you and can’t wait to meet your little guy! …and a serious pose, because all the big guys do it! 🙂

Little Samantha Jayne’s arrival was anticipated with a lot of prayers and trust in God.  Months before she was born Evan and Amanda were told that her cord was attached to the placenta in the “wrong” place, which meant the doctors needed to keep an eye on her growth.  We started praying and watched God perform a miracle!  Samantha Jayne was born completely perfect, fully developed, and weighing in at 3lbs.12oz.!!  She did so well after birth that she came home within a few days and has continued to grow beautifully!  To God be the glory and praise!

These pictures were taken when she was five days old and weighed approximately 3lbs.14oz. Such a teeny-tiny little miracle!
