I had the honor of getting called up to be a part of little Mylah's last moments on this earth. Mylah was born at 24 weeks and was with us for 10 days before the parents had to make the heart breaking decision to turn off her life support machine. The call came in at 11am from the hospital that Mylah was coming off life support and her parents Mic & Kylie would like some family shots done. When we got to the hospital at 12.30 there was still a faint heart beat and we started the shoot. The doctor came in around 20 minutes into the shoot to check on Mylah and sadly could not find a heart beat. We left her parents for a while and then they requested we do some more shots of her without all the tubes. It was an honor and priviledge to have been invited into total strangers lives at the most devastating time to be able to capture some memorable shots that they can treasure for life.
Mylah's parents were generous to let me share these images to raise the awareness of
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and the service that is offered throughout the world.
The slideshow below that I put together was played after Mylah's funeral for her family to see the beautiful girl.
