I’d like for y’all to meet Juliana. Juliana was born into the sweetest and most deserving family. She graced her family with her presence 6 weeks early!
Most of you know or have heard about Juliana’s big brother, John Clayton. He was born at 23 weeks and went to be with Jesus just 4 days later. This year has been full with ups and downs for this sweet family, but yet they have not let it defeat them.
Their friends and family have lifted them up in prayer. They have loved them and supported them through the hardest time in their lives and then Juliana came along. She is the perfect gift from God.
She was a total rockstar in the NICU and defied all odds and proved all the doctors wrong. She went home at just 12 days old! She has continued to grow and flourish everyday.
She came to my studio at 22 days old. Older babies typically don’t do as well but once again Juliana completely blew me away. She slept and slept and let me do everything I wanted! She was absolutely perfect!
Juliana’s mom, Crystal, brought a couple special items to the session that she wanted in the photos. You’ll see a beautiful lace pillow that will someday be the ring bearer pillow in her wedding, a white bunny that John Clayton was photographed with shortly after he went to be with Jesus, and little angel wings since she was the little angel sent here from God at the perfect time.
This sweet family has been such an inspiration to so many people. They have leaned on God and He has blessed them with such a beautiful angel. I know their heart aches for John Clayton every second of everyday. So I ask all of you to continue to lift them up in prayer. I am so thankful to have the privilege of photographing them through this year.
Here’s Juliana…
