Special Delivery

It was not an email I ever wanted to receive. Mum booked for her newborn session few months ahead and now at 9:14pm warning me that her baby might not make it. She was already in her third trimester. 
What I couldn't do is offer comfort, but I did brace for the worse and just simply told her not to worry about her arrangements with me. 
Of course, the story took for a better turn because you are now viewing his gallery. The tests didn't pick up any signs of down syndrome and it wasn't until birth that it was discovered. After a traumatic delivery on both Mum and baby. 
All I know is- he was easily one of the sweetest babies I've ever held. He is so cherished and loved by his brothers. I didn't learn more about his journey until at the end of the session. 
Every day I'm reminded of the reasons why I photograph birth! He deserves to be celebrated for his fight as he will go through a heart surgery in upcoming months.
