After I first shared Baker's story earlier this summer, we received emails and messages from so many wonderful friends and family members wishing us well and letting us know that they were keeping Baker and our family in their thoughts and prayers. I even got a few Facebook messages from total strangers who had come across my blog and wanted to either share a story or resource or just thank me for being so open about Baker and his diagnoses.
One of those people was Amanda from Amanda Nichole Photography. Amanda went to college with my cousin years ago and when she read Baker's story, she contacted me and asked if she could take his newborn photos. She mentioned she normally does one or two sessions a year for a family who is facing financial hardship or other extenuating circumstances and she wanted to do this for us as a gift.
I was floored and so surprised that someone would want to bless our family in that way. Really, it was just the beginning. We've been and continue to be shown so much support and it's just the best.
Amanda did such a good job with B and the girls. It was during Leighton's nap time but she still managed to get a few keepers! Justin survived, too, even after getting pooped on.
Thank you, Amanda, for these precious photos! If you're in the KC area, check her out!
These photos are amazing! So many frame-worthy ones! Baker is so precious! (and so are your girls)
