This is the story of a baby named Asher, his mother, Lindsey and his dad, Justin. These pictures document 24 hours in their lives.
Lindsey was told at 15 weeks that Asher had less than a 1% chance of survival and the doctor advised her to terminate the pregnancy, but she didn’t. She carried him. Gave birth to him. And held him in her arms for his last moments on earth.

What a glorious memory you have made as a tribute to Asher You’ve allowed not only the wonderful celebration of Love and acceptance of the family, you have shown through your painstaking photos the awareness of a beautiful Life. Amidst what I am sure was heartfelt pain, his life is a tribute to revisit again and again. No words can express the obvious Love and Committment that you have Given him. He can rest knowing full well that he was and will always be Loved by you and our Lord..
