My First Angel

I was contacted by a person from the organization 'Now I lay me down to sleep' and was asked to take photographs for a family who was about to lose their baby. Rudy was born yesterday and the nurse told me he has something that is "not compatible with life" and he will die from it. He was born at 34 weeks. I went to the hospital to meet this precious Angel and take pictures of him with this family. It was sad to see a dying baby, but I felt honored to be able to do this for the family and I am hoping for a miracle.

Update: Rudy lived for 8 days, it was a miracle. The doctor said he wouldn't survive the night so his family got to spend a few extra days with him. They've also given me permission to share photos of Rudy and his family. I've added a few to the "Angels" album.
