There were supposed to be two...

When Sophie´s parents Julia and Daniel found out that she was pregnant with twins, they were just a little bit shocked but extremely thrilled about the double blessing.
Julia experienced a very uncomplicated pregnancy and there was no indication of anything not going "according to plan".
When she was 29 weeks pregnant she went to the doctor for a routine check and found out that her sons heart had stopped beating.
No one who hasn´t lived through something like this will understand the unbelievable strength it takes to know in advance that when the day comes, there will be only one baby in her arms.
Despite the unbearable pain, Julia still remains an optimist, knowing that by God´s grace alone she was able to carry Sophie through to her 34th week of pregnancy.
And by God´s grace alone Sophie was strong enough to breath and drink by herself and leave the hospital after only a week.
Capturing these moments made me really emotional and editing them as a "normal" newborn photoshoot while I had prepared for a twin photoshoot made me realize that something was truly missing from these pictures.
Sophie´s brother, whom they call "Little Star".
