❤️ Some photos mean more than others. ❤️
On Sunday, I had the privilege of doing my first ever baby photoshoot. It wasn’t a paid shoot, but it was one I know I will learn so much from, and one that will stay with me for a very long time.
I had the pleasure of meeting Amber and her two beautiful children, Mickie-Jo and Violet. To some people, these may just be photographs, but to me, these are so much more than that. These are memories. These are moments that can be held onto forever, and memories that Amber can one day look back on with her children and share with them whenever she wishes.
A lot of people may not know Amber’s story. Her husband, Joe Heath, tragically lost his life in a work accident, leaving behind Amber and their children.
But Joe’s memory continues to live on. ❤️
Through his family, through the stories they share, and through Harbour Toon Ladies Fc — the football club Joe started — his name and his legacy will continue to be part of the lives of so many people.
Amber shared these beautiful words about Joe:
Joe was a true family man whose whole world revolved around the people he loved, as well as his beloved Newcastle United 🤣. His children meant everything to him, and he was so excited to welcome our beautiful baby girl, Mickie-Jo, into the world.
Joe was flamboyant, larger than life, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. His crazy dancing, infectious personality and ability to make people laugh meant that wherever Joe was, there was always laughter and love.
Our love ran deep. We met at a time in our lives where life was hard, and we built an amazing life together, becoming the happiest and best version of ourselves. Our baby girl was the last piece of the puzzle.
We all miss Joe terribly and can only hope he’s resting in paradise until we can be together again. ❤️
I might not call myself a baby photographer just yet, but I am incredibly grateful that I was given the opportunity to capture these moments for Amber and her children.
There are photographs that look beautiful, and then there are photographs that mean something.
These mean something. ❤️
So please show Amber Heath , Mickie-Jo and Violet some love in the comments. And if you’re looking to capture memories of your little ones, whether they’re natural moments or a proper photoshoot, I’d be more than happy to help.
