TreasuresThis picture awakened so many parts of my heart that ~Prayers for Lake Bozman~ put there. I am so blessed to be a very small part of these family’s stories. I truly pray it brings them comfort in these awful situations that don’t make sense to our hearts.
Mommy's snow PrincessBeing a photographer who lives in Georgia does not bring a lot of opportunity to do some beautiful portraits in the snow. Well we managed to get a beautiful dusting this year and I immediately knew the dress and cape I wanted to use and started begging my daughter to be a model for me. She can't deny how much she loves when Mommy does her hair and make up and makes her feel like a princess so she gave in pretty quickly. We just moved to a new home a last month and the woods beside us are absolutely magical. We played dress up with our newest Dollcake Vintage dress and an amazing handmade cape and when we got out there and the snow was still falling I was in mommy photography heaven. She said she felt like a mini Elsa out in the woods. It was worth the effort and cold to see her face when she saw the finished images. She felt like a beautiful princess and that is all a mommy and a photographer could ever wish for. Now we need one more snow so I can convince her sister! I cant wait to start our fantasy photo sessions this year and start making YOUR little girls feel like beautiful princesses too! I have been building up quite the collection of Dollcake Vintage Gowns and I cant wait to put them to use! It's going to be a magical year!

Laura & Tony McBride and their Angels.Last November, Independent Journal Review shared the touching story of Anna Bozman Thompson and how her nuptials were brightened by an amazing photographer from Georgia who made sure her wedding photos included someone who couldn’t be there. Now that same photographer’s work is bringing peace to another grieving family. Brandy Angel got a call from 40-year-old Texan Laura McBride and her husband, Tony, after Laura was moved by the Thompson photos. Laura knew a similar set of photos would help herself and Tony cope with a devastating loss to their family — all three of their children were stillborn.

Brandy said she was touched by the request, and made plans to shoot photos of the couple while she had an already-planned trip to Texas around Thanksgiving time. This was the result: Image credit: Screenshot/Today/Brandy Angel Photography Brandy said, “Photos like this aren’t for everyone, but they are everything to some people who need them to grieve and hold on to someone they have lost. I wanted to help her so much.” Laura told “Today”:

NPR reports that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found that the “autopsy rate in the U.S. for stillbirths is the lowest among developed countries.” While studying stillbirths could help to reduce their numbers, researcher Robert Silver, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Utah,said that they often aren’t done because quality autopsies by pathologists cost so much.
